Sets a salt to be used by the {@link HashService} during hash computation.

<b>NOTE</b>: not calling this method does not necessarily mean a salt won't be used at all - it just
means that the request didn't include a salt. The servicing {@link HashService} is free to provide a salting
strategy for a request, even if the request did not specify one. You can always check the result
{@code Hash} {@link Hash#getSalt() getSalt()} method to see what the actual
salt was (if any), which may or may not match this request salt.
