Renames `PasswordHash::hash_password` to `hash_password_with_salt`, and adds a new `getrandom`-gated method to `PasswordHash` called `hash_password`, but which only takes `&self` and `password` as arguments, automatically generating a salt of the recommended length.

Companion PR to RustCrypto/traits#2123 The aforementioned traits PR renames `PasswordHash::hash_password` to `hash_password_with_salt`, so this PR updates the method name change accordingly. When the `getrandom` feature is enabled, it provides a new `PasswordHash::hash_password` which *just* accepts a password as an argument, relying on `getrandom` to internally generate a salt. This updates all the code examples to use the new API so users don't have to deal with randomly generating a salt.
