auth: accept sha256 passwords on all platforms - not only on Windows

Give less surprises when changing platform.

Still, bcrypt is only supported and used on Posix.

bcrypt "hashes" will have length 60 and start with '$' and will thus
immediately skip the sha256 check.

The change should be safe: Users can't influence what kind of hashed key will
be in the database and can thus not influence the auth method.

(We really should use bcrypt on Windows too ... or change to something more
state of the art.)
.. _backup:

====================
Backing up Kallithea
====================


Settings
--------

Just copy your .ini file, it contains all Kallithea settings.


Whoosh index
------------

The Whoosh index is located in the ``data/index`` directory where you installed
Kallithea, i.e., the same place where the ini file is located


Database
--------

When using sqlite just copy kallithea.db.
Any other database engine requires a manual backup operation.

A database backup will contain all gathered statistics.
