James Knight 8d972df185 scripts/mkusers: allow users with no password value set
The following allows a user definition to specify that a created user
entry should not have a password value set. Original implementation
allowed a user definition to provide a password value of "=" (no quotes)
to generate a crypt-encoded empty string value. In some cases, it may be
desired to have no value specified for a user's password. By using a
value "-" for a password, no value will be set in the shadow value.

An example when this can be used is when logging into a terminal.
Logging into a session with an encoded empty password will prompt a user
to enter a password since it does not know the password is empty. If the
password field blank, a login session will not prompt for a password.
