Add native yescrypt ($y$) format

[TrinityBerserker]

Adds a native format for yescrypt (yy
y) hashes, calling src/yescrypt/ directly instead of going through the slow generic crypt(3) fallback. Related to issue #4621. This is an initial working version — valid() is intentionally permissive and doesn't yet fully decode all flavor/N/r/p/t/g/NROM parameters like scrypt_fmt.c does for 77
7. Tested against self-generated yy
y hashes and confirms correct cracking.

I opened a PR with an initial working implementation: #6013

It calls src/yescrypt/ directly (the same yescrypt_r() that scrypt_fmt.c
already uses for $7$) instead of going through the generic crypt(3)
fallback. All CI checks pass except one still pending.

Known limitation: valid() is intentionally permissive right now -- it
doesn't fully decode flavor/N/r/p/t/g/NROM like scrypt_fmt.c's
tunable_cost_N/r/p do for $7$. Happy to tighten that up based on feedback.

Tested locally against self-generated $y$ hashes and confirms correct
cracking.

​Update: Just pushed an update refactoring the code to handle raw binaries and bumped MAX_KEYS_PER_CRYPT to 128 for a massive speedup and better OpenMP scaling.

Thank you for the contribution, and I'm sorry I didn't implement this properly years ago. My plan was to add an exported parameter parser function to yescrypt itself, and then use that here, but I never got around to doing that - hopefully I will.

I don't see any pushed update here.

I don't know what this means.

This sounds wrong to me. These hashes are supposed to be slow enough that high MKPC should be both unnecessary and problematic in other ways.

I think we should require exactly 43 here. The >= was added in 1a4fb06 to support what I think are Django scrypt hashes. yescrypt encoding does not support such long hashes.

We shouldn't do the - 2 thing in cmp_all and cmp_one. Basically, just revert this back to simple strcmp:

When you do push any update, please amend and force-push the one commit - don't add more commits.

BTW, you seem to have some processing of dollar signs in your commit message and first comment here - you'll need to fix this in the commit message at least.

Hi @solardiz,

I have amended the commit and force-pushed the updates to address your feedback.

Here is a summary of the changes made inside the code:

• Fixed duplicate functions: Removed all duplicate declarations of cmp_all, cmp_one, and cmp_exact to clean up the code.
• Refactored valid() check: Corrected the base64 length check at the end of valid() to properly ensure the string terminates at exactly 43 characters (length == 43).
• M32/M64 Key limits: Set both MIN_KEYS_PER_CRYPT and MAX_KEYS_PER_CRYPT to 1.
• Dollar signs ($) fix: Cleaned up and properly escaped the raw dollar signs in both the commit message and the file header comments to prevent any markdown/processing issues.

Everything is now clean, consolidated into a single commit, and ready for your review. Thanks!
