 Patch adds an extra option (disabled by default) to force users to chose
 secure passwords. A plugin replaceable function is called at the
 appropriate time to check the strength of the password. I realize that
 this functionality could be achieved through a plugin but I'd like to make
 the case that the extra security gained against brute force attacks makes
 it worth including. See also #4470 (Ideally I should really rewrite the
 function to replicate that javascript function).
