Description:
------------
password hashed using crypt() with a different algorithm than the one chosen for password_needs_rehash() are not considered as needing to be rehashed.

This behaviour is different than the one of PHP 7.1 to PHP 7.3.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

var_dump(password_needs_rehash(crypt('Example', '$1$'), PASSWORD_DEFAULT)); // CRYPT_MD5
var_dump(password_needs_rehash(crypt('Example', '$6$rounds=5000$aa$'), PASSWORD_DEFAULT));  // CRYPT_SHA512 with 5000 rounds

Expected result:
----------------
bool(true)
bool(true)

Actual result:
--------------
bool(false)
bool(false)

This was changed as a result of the Password Hashing Registry RFC: algorithms not known to the registry are skipped.

I also forgot to add that the issue is only triggered when using the PASSWORD_DEFAULT constant, with the PASSWORD_BCRYPT constant we have the expected result.
