This is an alphabet used with PBKDF2 Modular Crypt Format (MCF) password hash strings. It's a variant of the unpadded standard Base64 alphabet which uses `.` in place of the usual `+`. Some example hashes can be found here: https://github.com/hlandau/passlib/blob/8f820e0/hash/pbkdf2/pbkdf2_test.go Also adds a `Base64::Pbkdf2` to the `mcf` crate.
