Add instructions for making crypt salted hashes using Python and passlib

README.textile

 
 Remove @{SHA512-CRYPT}@ and insert the rest as the @password_hash@ value.
 
-Alternatively, if you don't already have @doveadm@ installed, Python 3.3 or higher will generate the appropriate string for you on Unix-based platforms (assuming your password is @password@):

 bc. python3 -c 'import crypt; print(crypt.crypt("password", salt=crypt.METHOD_SHA512))'
 
+On OS X and other platforms the "passlib":https://pythonhosted.org/passlib/ package may be used to generate the required string:

 Same for the IRC password hash...
 
 bc. # znc --makepass
 
 Take the strings after @Hash =@ and @Salt =@ and insert them as the value for @irc_password_hash@ and @irc_password_salt@ respectively.
