The main point of this patch is to make it possible to integrate Koha
with the Norwegian national patron database (NNPDB). Code for this was
earlier introduced in Bug 11401 and removed again in Bug 21068.
To test this is mainly a question of spotting regressions, it should
still be possible to set and change a password in all possible ways:
- Setting a password for a new user
- Changing a password in the staff client
- Changing a password in the OPAC
If these work as expected, everything should be OK.
A nice side effect of this work is that it will allow for plugins that
validate passwords. I have created a tiny plugin that enforces PIN
codes of 4 digits. (Yeah, I know, those are the worst passwords, but
some libraries do require them.) It is published here:
https://github.com/Libriotech/koha-plugin-pin
To test this way, install the plugin and try to change the password
of an exsisting user to something that is not a 4 digit PIN. You
should get an error that says "The password was rejected by a plugin".

Updated 2019-10-23:
- Moved the plugin checks to before the call to $self->SUPER::store to
make sure patrons are not saved if the password fails a plugin check
- Made the plugin checks in set_password respect skip_validation while
retaining the functionality for NNPDB
