As a Fediversity user,
I want to choose my initial user credentials,
so that I can log in to my Pixelfed instance.

Test:

Given that I am in the panel,
when I am filling the deployment form,
then I should be able to specify my initial credentials such that I can log in to my deployed instance.

implementation notes

proper approach: use LDAP (#615)

@kevin noted we may be able to pull these from the django auth info

I looked at what info you can get from the django auth and.

we can get the username and email from django. But for the password we cant since django uses 1 way hashing and thus its impossible to get the password from django. so we need find a create a way to have the operator specify that themself when the configure the services

@kevin makes sense. i guess with the declarative approach of our form putting it in the form kinda sucks too, as it would then remain exposed. that maybe seems like a broader challenge in our approach we should further consider, to e.g.:

have a password field in the form (potential security risk, viable at most for demo purposes);
have the passwords generated rather than user-specified, then present to the user, potentially with the advice to change them (least advisable long-term, as storing/presenting them and relying on user behavior would make for additional attack vectors);
use generated passwords we neither store nor show the user but would then have them use the 'forgot password' function to reset;
long-term: have them hooked into an SSO (#212) so we don't need to generate application-specific users.

we should prob discuss our options here to build some consensus.

Showing once and adding a note to use "forgot password" for a reset sounds reasonable.

our implementation now only creates an initial user, i.e. does not account for changes to the user or password.
