target: add option to set the root password
Add an option in the menuconfig to specify a root password.
If set to empty, no root password is created; otherwise, the password is
encrypted using MD5 (MD5 is not the default for crypt(3), DES-56 is, but
MD5 is widely available, not-so-strong, but not-so-weak either).
Add a check for 'mkpasswd' as a new dependency.
[Peter: fix typo/capitilization and simplify logic]
