Issue with bcrypt 5.0.0 / passlib 1.7.4 - Password hash not working anymore

[sflotron]

Since the new release of bcrypt (5.0.0), the password hash is not working anymore

Task failed.

<<< caused by >>>

The filter plugin 'ansible.builtin.password_hash' failed: Could not hash the secret: password cannot be longer than 72 bytes, truncate manually if necessary (e.g. my_password[:72])
Origin: ./galaxy_collections/ansible_collections/prometheus/prometheus/roles/_common/templates/web_config.yml.j2

Downgrading the bcrypt to version 4.3.0 make the password hash working again. The root cause is the passlib that is not updated since 5 years.

Could we remove the dependency on passlib and use an other password hash ?

We could also hope / wait for ansible/ansible#85970 and use the downgrade (even if I really don't like it) until then
