Julia Kreger fcaefdbe74 Hash the rescue_password
In order to provide increased security, it is necessary
to hash the rescue password in advance of it being stored
into the database and to provide some sort of control for
hash strength.

This change IS incompatible with prior IPA versions with
regard to use of the rescue feature, but I fully expect
we will backport the change to IPA on to stable branches
and perform a release as it is a security improvement.

features:
- |
Passwords for ``rescue`` operation are now hashed for
transmission to the ``ironic-python-agent``. This functionality
requires ``ironic-python-agent`` version ``6.0.0``.
The setting ``[conductor]rescue_password_hash_algorithm``
now defaults to ``sha256``, and may be set to
``sha256``, or ``sha512``.
upgrades:
- |
The version of ``ironic-python-agent`` should be upgraded to
at least version ``6.0.0`` for rescue passwords to be hashed
for transmission.
security:
- |
Operators wishing to enforce all rescue passwords to be hashed
should use the ``[conductor]require_rescue_password_hashed``
setting and set it to a value of ``True``.
This setting will be changed to a default of ``True`` in the
Victoria development cycle.
