When migrating D6 passwords, it is difficult to disable the md5 rehashing process because of the format of the if statement. Password hashing is a critical path in the speed of a migration and disabling the rehashing is a useful feature when you want to improve migration times by offloading the rehash to a separate migration or script.
Modify the if to allow disabling the rehash logic.

A documentation change is requested elsewhere. For Drupal core (and possibly other projects), once the change has been committed, this status should be recorded in a change record node.
The change is currently missing an automated test that fails when run with the original code, and succeeds when the bug has been fixed.
