Summary: Remove Dependency on MySQL "PASSWORD" Function

Initial Comment:
Extend-A-Story currently uses the MySQL "PASSWORD" function to hash user passwords for storage in the database. This can cause problems when MySQL changes the implementation of the "PASSWORD" function, which is what happend with bug # 3419172. Extend-A-Story should use a PHP function, with a known implemenation that will not change, to hash the user passwords instead.
