core (memory/crypto): replaced `PyCrypto` by `cryptography`:
`PyCrypto` is unmaintained for years but was used in SàT for password hashing. This patch
fixes that by replacing `PyCrypto` by the reference `cryptography` module which is well
maintained.
The behaviour stays the same (except that previously async `hash`, `encrypt` and `decrypt`
methods are now synchronous, as they are quick and using a deferToThread may actually be
more resource intensive than using blocking methods).
It is planed to improve `memory.crypto` by using more up-to-date cryptography/hashing
algorithms in the future.
PyCrypto is no more a dependency of SàT

============================= identity: identity management ============================= Identity use several XMPP extensions (like vcards) to retrieve or set informations about an entity. For now it's really basic and only nickname and avatar are managed. get === Retrieve informations about the identity behind an XMPP entity. You only have to specify the jid of the entity, and you'll get (if set) his/her/its nickname and a link to the cached avatar. example -------- Get identity information about an entity:: $ jp identity get somebody@example.org set === Set identity data to the server, using various XMPP extensions. You set the data to change using ``-f KEY VALUE, --field KEY VALUE``, where ``KEY`` can only be ``nick`` at the moment. example ------- Set the nickname of default profile:: $ jp identity set -f nick toto
