Argon2i hash support (needed to AuthPDO against nextcloud 16.x)

[einhirn]

I want to AuthPDO against our nextcloud database, but they are using Argon2i hashes. Now it seems that I'll have to patch "inc/PassHash.php" to support that, am I correct? I'll give it a spin and try to create a pull request.

Is there a particular reason for not using php's own password_hash / password_verify functions - other than support for legacy PHP versions and/or special password hash schemes not supported by the native functions?

If you git blame those code you will see how old they are - DokuWiki currently supports PHP 5.6+ but these legacy code hasn't been refactored to make full use of the new features. (We also use legacy fallback JSON library now if I remembered correctly 😂)
