• Replace signature handler for legacy tokens by removing deprecated crypto.createDecipher by createCipheriv
• Introduce environment variables for legacy tokens

Code Improvements

• Add debug library for improve developer experience

Breaking change

• The new signature invalidates all previous tokens generated by Verdaccio 4 or previous versions.
• The secret key must have 32 characters long.

New environment variables

• VERDACCIO_LEGACY_ALGORITHM: Allows to define the specific algorithm for the token signature which by default is aes-256-ctr
• VERDACCIO_LEGACY_ENCRYPTION_KEY: By default, the token stores in the database, but using this variable allows to get it from memory
