Remove hashcat comparison 

I was mistaken about the issues with generating tokens in advance. The
main advantage is then just that argon2id is much better than sha1 for
this use-case.

hexadecimal string is prefixed with the appropriate number of zeroes.
Comparison with hashcat
mkproof offers some advantages over hashcat:
- Because Alice provides a string which is part of the input to the hashing
function, it is not possible to generate lots of proofs in advance.
- The use of argon2i makes it difficult to scale up proofs by being resistant
to GPU generation and having a fixed memory cost.
Of course, both of those things may be desirable for your application, in which
case hashcat is probably better for you.
