[Bug 1746047] [NEW] [MIR] argon2

[Julian Andres Klode]

Public bug reported:

[Availability]
Available in universe, not a lot of updates.

[Rationale]
cryptsetup needs the argon2 library for the new LUKS2 format. It's also becoming more popular in general, being the winner of the password hashing competition in 2015, so other parts might use it.

We could use the embedded one, but that seems a bit pointless.

[Security]


[Quality assurance]
Upstream has a test suite run at build

[Dependencies]
None.

[Standards compliance]


[Maintenance]
Should be a foundations package, given that lvm2 is. Not many upstream releases, the last one was end of 2017, the one before end of 2016, so not nuch work.

[Background information]
