Extract crypto algorithm field and add utility functions
Password field of a user in /etc/shadow contains 3 parts:
[Crypt algorithm, Salt, encrypted password]
Example: A value of "1" in crypt algorithm maps to MD5
Need to use the same crypt algorithm that is already used
before when the new password is to be updated.
