F convenient admin
Summary
This MR adds a few convenience features to caosdb_admin:
- Allow activating users directly after creation.
- Allow setting a password on the command line.
This is important for allowing automated scripts to batch generate passwords and users.
Focus
I updated the documentation in argparse and hope that it matches the programming logic exactly. Please check.
Test Environment
Just check out this branch and create a user in an instance of your choice, e.g. using:
python3 -m caosdb.utils.caosdb_admin create_user username email password
