Recommend BLAKE3 instead of BLAKE2 (#703)
Reasons:
* BLAKE3 has been out for 5 years now.
* No further cryptanalytic results have come out indicating that it
might not be secure (nor for BLAKE2, nor BLAKE, nor ChaCha20, nor
Salsa20).
* BLAKE3 has a major, qualitative efficiency improvement, which is the
Merkle Tree structure, allowing (but not requiring) any amount of
parallelism.
* BLAKE3 is already extensively adopted in many different projects in
many different industries/areas/niches.
* BLAKE3 is currently being more actively maintained, as in patches are
being accepted by the chief maintainer, Jack "@oconnor663" O'Connor.
