Previously the user password (and the LUKS passphrase for encrypted installs)
were always prompted interactively, so an answerfile install could never be
fully hands-free. Add optional "password" and "luks_password" answerfile fields:
- arch-autoinstall.sh: read both via af_get; when present use them (chpasswd /
cryptsetup --key-file=- with --batch-mode and stdin-piped luksAddKey auth),
otherwise fall back to the interactive prompt. Empty/null/absent => prompt.
- generate-answerfile.sh: replace the "passwords are never stored" notice with
an optional confirmed-entry password prompt (and a LUKS one when encryption is
enabled); emit both as JSON (null when declined).
Secrets stored this way are plain text in the file (and world-readable once
embedded in an ISO) — documented in the header; decline to keep prompting.
