 Description   

Hi Team,

Customer requests to add some options e.g. "maxpasswd" to make it easier to pre-create the users..

1) Updates /etc/maxscale.cnf to our standard settings (using pre-encrypted passwords for the user credentials)...

2) Writes out /var/lib/maxscale/passwd with locally defined users using SHA2-512 hashed passwords but that are not including the pre-defined admin user...

As a comment, it would be good to have a way to explicitly specify all admin and non-admin users for a maxscale installation. This would be no manual creation of non-admin users, as well as being able to prevent the default `admin` account from being present on the system.

I look forward to whatever progress can be made on this issue.
