Description
There is no binding for the key derivation function crypto_pwhash_scryptsalsa208sha256.
crypto_pwhash_scryptsalsa208sha256_ll is available but it is not compatible because the cost parameter need to be calculated differently, and the libsodium function pickparams which does just that does not appear to be exposed.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing binding for crypto_pwhash_scryptsalsa208sha256_ll and comparing it with the libsodium crypto_pwhash_scryptsalsa208sha256 API and pickparams behavior. Done means the missing function is exposed through PyNaCl with the required cost-parameter handling; the issue names no file or test entry point.
