 While auditing WordPress for remote queries the servers make, I noticed
 the generation of salts in wp-admin.php is wasteful with an unnecessary
 loop inside a loop. If the system php supports random_int it also supports
 random_bytes.

 Attached patch generates 64 byte (512 bit) salts without needed the 64
 round loop inside the 8 round loop loop.
