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. https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3/commits/master/
