More Utilities in Deno.*

[CyanChanges]

We need more thing and improvements in Deno.*!

Progress Tracing

• Provide Hash utilities: Deno.hash / Deno.password #28277
• Simplify Deno.Command #28276

Simplify Deno.Command

To pass things into stdin you need to:

const command = new Deno.Command(Deno.execPath(), {
  args: [
    "run",
    "-",
  ],
  stdin: "piped"
});
const child = command.spawn();

child.stdin.write("console.log('hello')")
child.stdin.close();
const status = await child.status; // wait for exit

In most cases, you don't need to precise control when to write something,
Inspired by Bun, if you can just put something like Response to the stdin option,
and it automatically do the thing for you.

const command = new Deno.Command(Deno.execPath(), {
  args: [
    "run",
    "-",
  ],
  stdin: new Response("console.log('hello')")
});

const child = command.spawn();
const status = await child.status; // wait for exit

Deno.hash / Deno.password

In Node.js, we do hash like:

import { createHash } from 'node:crypto'

const hash = createHash('sha256')
  .update("pa$$word")
  .digest('hex')

node:crypto only have support for algorithm supported in openssl.
But in nowadays, we may use more likely to use argon2, yescrypt for hashing passwords,
but those isn't in node:crypto, if we can just

const hash = await Deno.password.hash("pa$$word", {
 algorithm: "argon2id",
 memory: 2,
 time: 2
})

and

const hash = await Deno.hash.sha256("whatever")

it will be more easier to use, and
implementation in native will also be faster.
(or maybe use wasm to avoid v8 internal binding costs)
