Description

After merging #6005, we may want to rename our old RAKP formats (CPU and OpenCL) to include SHA1 in the name for consistency with the newly added formats. We may also want to drop FMT_HUGE_INPUT from them.

Research direction

Locate the old CPU and OpenCL RAKP format definitions and compare their names and flags with the newer formats added in #6005. Done means deciding and applying the SHA1 naming consistency and determining whether FMT_HUGE_INPUT should be removed from both old formats.
