[issue31702] Allow to specify the number of rounds for SHA-* hashing in crypt

[Gregory P. Smith]

Gregory P. Smith <greg at krypto.org> added the comment:

I'd stick with ValueError in that case as well.  if someone dislikes the
valueerrors because they _want_ to use an invalid one, they can file a bug
and we'll reconsider only if they have a meaningful use case.
