Bcrypt cycles ENV var

[kaievns]

I think this service should accept an ENV var that will specify how many encryption cycles bcrypt should use.

Basically the problem is that production grade bcrypt takes quite a bit of time and it slows down tests significantly. I want to be able to specify something like ENCRYPT_CYCLES=1 in a test environment and make the auth service to create new records faster.

Also this will allow us to use more cycles in security critical apps

The var we use on other projects is HASH_ROUNDS. I think it'd make sense to mirror that here.
