Parts of the codebase depend on being able to pass in
nil
as the expected hash (e.g, if the user doesn't exist).In commit 21c2dec I enhanced couch_passwords:verify/2 to use OTP 25's new
crypto:hash_equals/2
function, but foolishly omitted the final fallback clause of our originalverify/2
function. This PR restores it.
