Weak password schemes might disappear at some point and that's for example the case with CRYPT.

The underlying python module (crypt) has be removed starting with version 3.13 and so we need to way to prevent any issue and warn admins that they must upgrade the configured scheme ASAP.

A possible plan:

Mark crypt scheme as deprecated for the next patch version (2.3.3) and notify admins using checks and notifications to indicate that they must update their configuration before next minor version
Remove support of this scheme in next minor version (2.4.0)
