Log Message:
passwd.conf(5): switch default cipher for new user accounts to Argon2id

As well as offering a dynamic amount of iterations and memory usage,
which fits well with NetBSD's goal of running on a diverse range of
hardware devices, Argon2id offers improved resistance to GPU-based
password cracking and side channel attacks.
