Assuming the intended use case is compatibility with /etc/shadow or
something similar, would it not make sense to add these algos to
password_hash function, and not add new functions?

I'm probably missing some valid use cases for having separate
functions to have separate functions for gen/check salt, so please
disregard this comment if that's the case :)
