On its documentation, it mentions "any algorithm name supported by
hashlib.new() can be passed",
but this is not true, algorithms supported by hashlib.new() may not
accessible through getattr,
This was mentioned here:
https://github.com/django/django/pull/12291#discussion_r364348132
But it wasn't addressed.
Either we can make salted_hmac use hashlib.new (which is discouraged by
python's documentation).
Or change the documentation to not mentioned hashlib.new.
