/// A helper function that should be sufficient for the majority of cases where
/// an application needs to use PBKDF2 to hash a password for storage.
///
/// Internally it uses PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 algorithm. The result is a `String`
/// that contains the parameters used as part of its encoding. The `pbkdf2_check`
/// function may be used on a password to check if it is equal to a hashed value.
///
/// # Format
///
/// The format of the output is a modified version of the Modular Crypt Format
/// that encodes algorithm used and iteration count. The format is indicated as
/// "rpbkdf2" which is short for "Rust PBKF2 format."
///
/// ```text
/// $rpbkdf2$0$<base64(c)>$<base64(salt)>$<based64(hash)>$
/// ```
///
/// # Arguments
///
/// * `password` - The password to process
/// * `c` - The iteration count
