Title: [WIP] Scrypt

This should be a working implementation of the Scrypt primitive and a libscrypt based backend.

Few notes:
1. The Scrypt source and paper refers to 3 parameters (N, p and r). I have named these `work_factor`, `block_size` and `parallelization_factor` respectively. We may want to debate the naming for these parameters.

2. The libscrypt in Ubuntu's repository is borked at the moment (ref: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libscrypt/+bug/1313311), I'm not sure who to bug to get the fix in.

3. The libscrypt backend gets tested automatically when installed (refer to the tox.ini file to see what I mean), @dstufft has some views against this that we need to discuss.
