passlib.handlers: cases where crypt() returns malformed hash
now return a single unified InternalBackendError() class,
instead of AssertionError.
This change has a couple of parts:
* assert statements replaced with permanent checks,
since crypt() is unpredictable enough that we need to have this always on,
even if production runs code in "-O2" mode.
* added debug_only_repr() helper which allows including sensitive stuff
like salts & hash digests within error tracebacks -- will only do so
when global flag is enabled; and that's currently only set by unittest suite.
* added new InternalBackendError() exception class (a RuntimeError subclass);
which is raised instead of an AssertionError.
