This PR is used to replace the PR #12321 as @vstinner requested in. VxWorks has no APIs crypt() and crypt_r() provided. And DES_crpyt() OpenSSL provides is super weak to implement the encryption. Moreover,
By the comments PR #12321 raised as below, community is planning to drop this module as well.

I'm planning to deprecate and drop the crypt module. It's not very useful these days and most hashing algorithms are weak. Especially DES is super weak.
