Feature #3272
Separate internal admin account from user admin accounts
Description
Currently we install a default "admin" account which is used both for internal+anonymous actions, and the first user's login. This account can't be deleted as we need it for the former.
This use should be separated by hiding the internal admin account, then have the user either set up a new account for themselves during installation or first access.
We can then permit the user to delete all but one admin accounts (and except our hidden one).

This must include having a user-selected or randomised password for the first admin account.

I requested some feedback on foreman-dev to work out how the first user account should be populated:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/foreman-dev/8v53KusW_gw
The consensus seemed to be:
- accept the initial admin password as an installer parameter, allowing it to be specified on the command line and answers file
- randomise the admin password if it's not given, and force the user to reset it on first login
- print the admin password after install

This is in progress on https://github.com/domcleal/foreman/tree/3272-admin-account, and I hope to have it up for review in sprint 22.
The main areas still to work on are: randomising the admin password via the installer and the db:seed script, ensuring admin-enabled user groups interact properly with the changes, and possibly a forced password change when the randomised password is first used.
