Proposed changes in this pull request
Installs the Argon2 pip package and overrides the Django default hashing algorithms to prioritize Argon2. (Resolves #876)
When should this PR be merged
Merge with PR for Django 1.10.4 upgrade
Risks
Very low; Django continues to support all previous algorithms, and any passwords hashed using the old default (PBKDF2) will be automatically converted to use Argon2 next time the user logs in.
Follow up actions
We should consider comms -- sending an email to current production users prompting them to log in, so that as many passwords as possible will be updated to use Argon2. For the same reason, Cadasta staff with production accounts should log in after this change is released.
