Manifest constants

HighSecurity
enum HighSecurity;
LowSecurity
enum LowSecurity;
MediumSecurity
enum MediumSecurity;

Parameters to the argon2 function. Bigger numbers make it harder to crack, but also take more resources for legitimate users too (e.g. making logins and signups slower and more memory-intensive). Some examples are provided. HighSecurity is about 3/4 second on my computer, MediumSecurity about 1/3 second, LowSecurity about 1/10 second.
