The SCRAM salt length is currently set as
/* length of salt when generating new verifiers */
#define SCRAM_DEFAULT_SALT_LEN 12
without further comment.
I suspect that this length was chosen based on the example in RFC 5802
(SCRAM-SHA-1) section 5. But the analogous example in RFC 7677
(SCRAM-SHA-256) section 3 uses a length of 16. Should we use that instead?
