Add Argon2Kdf and enable parameters in db settings
Note: This implementation is not yet connected to the
database itself and will corrupt existing kdbx3 db's.

* Implemented memory and parallelism parameters for Argon2Kdf
* Using libargon2; libsodium does not support Argon2d algorithm
* Moved basic rounds parameter into Kdf class
* Reimplemented benchmark algorithm; previous was utterly broken

Build and Install KeePassXC
=================
This document will guide you through the steps to build and install KeePassXC from source.
You can visit the online version of this document at the following link:
https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassx/wiki/Install-Instruction-from-Source
The [KeePassXC QuickStart](./docs/QUICKSTART.md) gets you started using KeePassXC on your
Windows, Mac, or Linux computer using the pre-built binaries.
Build Dependencies
==================
The following tools must exist within your PATH:
* make
* cmake (>= 2.8.12)
* g++ (>= 4.7) or clang++ (>= 3.0)
The following libraries are required:
* Qt 5 (>= 5.2): qtbase and qttools5
* libgcrypt (>= 1.6)
* zlib
* libmicrohttpd
* libxi, libxtst, qtx11extras (optional for auto-type on X11)
* libsodium (>= 1.0.12, optional for keepassxc-browser support)
* libargon2
Prepare the Building Environment
================================
* [Building Environment on Linux](https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/wiki/Set-up-Build-Environment-on-Linux)
* [Building Environment on Windows](https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/wiki/Set-up-Build-Environment-on-Windows)
* [Building Environment on MacOS](https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/wiki/Set-up-Build-Environment-on-OS-X)
Build Steps
===========
To compile from source, open a **Terminal (on Linux/MacOS)** or a **MSYS2-MinGW shell (on Windows)**<br/>
**Note:** on Windows make sure you are using a **MINGW shell** by checking the label before the current path
First, download the KeePassXC [source tarball](https://keepassxc.org/download#source)
or check out the latest version from our [Git repository](https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc).
To clone the project from Git, `cd` to a suitable location and run
```bash
git clone https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc.git
```
This will clone the entire contents of the repository and check out the current `develop` branch.
To update the project from within the project's folder, you can run the following command:
```bash
git pull
```
Navigate to the directory where you have downloaded KeePassXC and type these commands:
```
cd directory-where-sources-live
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DWITH_TESTS=OFF ...and other options - see below...
make
```
These steps place the compiled KeePassXC binary inside the `./build/src/` directory.
(Note the cmake notes/options below.)
**Cmake Notes:**
* Common cmake parameters
```
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local
-DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=<RelWithDebInfo/Debug/Release>
-DWITH_GUI_TESTS=ON
```
* cmake accepts the following options:
```
-DWITH_XC_AUTOTYPE=[ON|OFF] Enable/Disable Auto-Type (default: ON)
-DWITH_XC_HTTP=[ON|OFF] Enable/Disable KeePassHTTP and custom icon downloads (default: OFF)
-DWITH_XC_YUBIKEY=[ON|OFF] Enable/Disable YubiKey HMAC-SHA1 authentication support (default: OFF)
-DWITH_XC_BROWSER=[ON|OFF] Enable/Disable keepassxc-browser extension support (default: OFF)
-DWITH_TESTS=[ON|OFF] Enable/Disable building of unit tests (default: ON)
-DWITH_GUI_TESTS=[ON|OFF] Enable/Disable building of GUI tests (default: OFF)
-DWITH_DEV_BUILD=[ON|OFF] Enable/Disable deprecated method warnings (default: OFF)
-DWITH_ASAN=[ON|OFF] Enable/Disable address sanitizer checks (Linux / macOS only) (default: OFF)
-DWITH_COVERAGE=[ON|OFF] Enable/Disable coverage tests (GCC only) (default: OFF)
```
* If you are on MacOS you must add this parameter to **Cmake**, with the Qt version you have installed<br/> `-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/qt5/5.6.2/lib/cmake/`
:exclamation: When building with ASan support on macOS, you need to use `export ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=0` before running the tests (no LSan support in macOS).
Installation
============
After you have successfully built KeePassXC, install the binary by executing the following:
```bash
sudo make install
```
You can specify the destination dir with
```
DESTDIR=X
```
Packaging
=========
You can create a package to redistribute KeePassXC (zip, deb, rpm, dmg, etc..)
```
make package
```
Testing
=======
You can perform test on the executable
```
make test
```
Common parameters:
```
CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE=1
ARGS+=-jX
ARGS+="-E testgui"
```
