Passwd's comparePassword() assumes that the old password is in the same
format the new one will be in (set in the configuration). This need not
always be true (in our case, we have a number of legacy CRYPT passwords but
we'd like the new ones to be SSHA).

The attached patch looks for {scheme} and uses this as the password
(encryption) scheme to pass to Auth::getCryptedPassword(). It also compares
the passwords with the scheme identification stripped off, as this makes the
scheme identification case-insensitive. This sould also fix the remaining
issue of bug #2708.
