Argon2 takes the place of prehashing which now gets performed after Argon2. This offers various performance benefits and much simpler implementation. The Argon2 parameters also received further tuning, avoiding insanely long hashing for 8-character passwords.

Threaded password hashing implemented for CLI to minimise any delays seen by user.
