bugfix: bcrypt os_crypt backend: fix some more crypt.crypt() utf8 encoding issues
which were causing it to fail to generate a hash. bcrypt ------ * _norm_digest(): fixed some PasslibValueError()s being thrown by os_crypt backend during UT fuzz verifier. These were due to non-UTF8 input being provided to crypt.crypt()... even though secret itself was UTF8 safe! This was because secret was being truncated/repeated as part of various backend bug workarounds; and the truncate/repeat operations weren't being done in manner that respected UTF8 character boundaries. This has now been fixed via _require_valid_utf8_bytes flag (which has been set for os_crypt backend), that enables utf8-safe mode of operation. utils ----- * added utf8_truncate() and utf8_repeat_string() helpers, for bcrypt fixes above. * simplified repeat_string() internals

These can't be passed through, due to limitation in stdlib's :func:`!crypt.crypt`.
(Prior to this release, it would it incorrectly raise :exc:`~passlib.exc.MissingBackendError` instead).
+ Also improved legacy bcrypt format workarounds, to support a few more UTF8 edge cases than before.

* Modified some internals to help run on FIPS systems (:issue:`116`):
In particular, when MD5 hash is not available, :class:`~passlib.hash.hex_md5`
