docs: clarify Argon2id and BLAKE2b-512 KDF usage

Browse Source 
Document BLAKE2b-512 and Argon2id usage in the HTML/CHM user guide and Russian/Chinese translations. Clarify Argon2id's non-system scope, PBKDF2-HMAC system encryption behavior, PIM parameters, and regenerate the CHM files.

<h4>Output Length</h4>

The derived key length depends on the selected encryption algorithm(s) (e.g., 256 bits for AES-256, 768 bits for AES-Twofish-Serpent cascades).
The amount of derived header key material consumed depends on the selected encryption algorithm(s). For current XTS volumes, VeraCrypt uses both primary and secondary header keys; for example, AES-256-XTS uses 512 bits in total (two 256-bit keys), and an AES-Twofish-Serpent-XTS cascade uses 1536 bits in total (six 256-bit keys).
