dcb70b1522 Indicate -rpcauth option password hashing alg (Carl Dong)

Pull request description:

  By indicating the password hashing algorithm, users of bitcoin distributions without the script in `share/rpcauth` and users who don't want to rely on said script can use alternative means to generate the password hash.

  Question for reviewers: perhaps we should also indicate that it is specifically a HMAC-SHA-256 of the _**UTF-8**_ encoding of their password?

Tree-SHA512: 86b546c2e78699fa253da0c1e76b21ef60e9b6a5778826ac5136e764d70e3213044cc05cdb4786ba27968781647c46e358a823bbc2db7d45d041d291ee03b83c
