Automated response: Installer does not actually determine a good ratchet default despite language string saying so

CONFIG_OPTION_crypt_ratchet says "A sensible default is auto-detected at installation but should be very conservatively raised over the years...". But we don't actually set a default during installation.

This has been implemented as step 6 of the installation process (before installing the forums). A new API was added in crypt, "calculate_reasonable_ratchet".

This is for version 10 only.

Actually an addendum to ratchet times for v11:
Minimal: About 0.025 seconds
Low: About 0.05 seconds
Medium: About 0.1 seconds
High: About 0.25 seconds
Very high: About 1 second

This hotfix is for v11 where the Setup Wizard now has 5 security levels (from minimum to ultra high) and will calculate a cryptographic ratchet based on security level and relevant computational time.

A hotfix (a TAR of files to upload) has been uploaded to this issue. These files are made to the latest intra-version state (i.e. may roll in earlier fixes too if made to the same files) - so only upload files newer than what you have already. If there are files in a hot-fix that you don't have then they probably relate to addons that you don't have installed and should be skipped. Always take backups of files you are replacing or keep a copy of the manual installer for your version, and only apply fixes you need. These hotfixes are not necessarily reliable or well supported.
