Ensure that passwords are never long enough for a DoS.
* Limit the password length to 4096 bytes
* Password hashers will raise a ValueError
* django.contrib.auth forms will fail validation
* Document in release notes that this is a backwards incompatible change
Thanks to Josh Wright for the report, and Donald Stufft for the patch.
