Improve security of encrypted notes

Closes #1.

The password is hashed using Argon2, with the salt being `SHA256(password)`. The output hash is then encoded using hex.

The password-checking function checks if the "note database" is encrypted using the plain password (and returns it) or if it is encrypted using the hashed+salted password (and returns the value). This allows older databases to work properly.

A migration path may be added in the future.
