Programs such as OpenVPN may use ask-password for not only retrieving
passwords, but also usernames. Masking usernames with * seems just silly.
v2 - Don't mess with termios flags, instead print the input
instead of an asterix. Resolves issues with backspace
and TAB input.
v3 - Renamed 'do_echo' variables and argument to 'echo'. Also
modified the ask_password_{tty,agent,auto} API instead of
additional wrapper functions.
[zj: undo changes to ask_password_auto, since no callers were using
the new argument.]

No change in behavoir as the fallthrough from ARG_COPY had already
set arg_copy_locale to true.
Found with coverity. Fixes: CID#1237622

getopt is usually good at printing out a nice error message when
commandline options are invalid. It distinguishes between an unknown
option and a known option with a missing arg. It is better to let it
do its job and not use opterr=0 unless we actually want to suppress
messages. So remove opterr=0 in the few places where it wasn't really
useful.
When an error in options is encountered, we should not print a lengthy
help() and overwhelm the user, when we know precisely what is wrong
with the commandline. In addition, since help() prints to stdout, it
should not be used except when requested with -h or --help.
Also, simplify things here and there.

It appears to be customary to remove all access bits from /etc/shadow
including those for the root owner), hence let's do the same.

or when creating OS images offline
A new tool "systemd-firstboot" can be used either interactively on boot,
where it will query basic locale, timezone, hostname, root password
information and set it. Or it can be used non-interactively from the
command line when prepareing disk images for booting. When used
non-inertactively the tool can either copy settings from the host, or
take settings on the command line.
$ systemd-firstboot --root=/path/to/my/new/root --copy-locale --copy-root-password --hostname=waldi
The tool will be automatically invoked (interactively) now on first boot
if /etc is found unpopulated.
This also creates the infrastructure for generators to be notified via
an environment variable whether they are running on the first boot, or
not.
