[PATCH v4 7/8] common: add support to fallback to plain SHA256

[Steffen Jaeckel]

In case crypt-based hashing is enabled this will be the default mechanism
that is used. If a user wants to have support for both, the environment
variable `bootstopusesha256` can be set to `true` to allow plain SHA256
based hashing of the password.
