I think many formats could just use fmt_default_binary_hash_0 -
fmt_default_binary_hash_6. Only formats which know that their hashes
have a non-random distribution in (certain parts of) their hashes should
need to implement their own binary_hash_[0-6].
But I think fmt_default_binary_hash_0 - fmt_default_binary_hash_6 are
jumbo specific, they don't exist in core.

But fmt_default_salt_hash just returns 0 (which is OK for saltless hashes).
So, we would need other "default" implementations for salt_hash_[0-6].
