Update DefaultAlgorithm.php

Prevent edge-case whereby, if the majority of `base64_encode($bytes)` consists of `/` or `+` characters, the resulting key will be shorter and less unpredictable (due to a smaller keyspace) than anticipated.

As a result, the `$len * 2` hack has been removed. Although it is highly probable that `$len * 2` will stop most edge cases from occurring, it does not actually guarantee the end result will be at least 40 characters long.
