-------------------------------+------------------------
If the user has a unmanageable password (ie no hashers found)
ReadOnlyPasswordHashWidget reraise ValueError up to the UI, this prevents
to access to the user record if the form contains
ReadOnlyPasswordHashWidget ( admin ), this happen also for blank password.
If the system use a custom backend with external authentication there is
no reason for django to known the password algorithm, but should be still
possible to access to the user record.
The patch simply surround the involved lined into the
ReadOnlyPasswordHashWidget.render() and display a 'Unknown password
hashing algorithm' message instead.
Not sure if the message could be improved/changed.
