Pierre Crégut 6043889a78 root password for dynamic-login made simpler

Simplifies the definition of root password for dynamic login by lifting
the requirement for a double quote at the end of the command line
argument and letting the user encode the hash value in base64 format.

Compatibility with the legacy behavior is kept but the updated
documentation recomends using base64 as this makes it possible to use
the same command line with syslinux (Bios) or grub (UEFI).

Closes-Bug: #2123878

     The password hash provided on the kernel command line for dynamic login
     can now be base64 encoded and double quotes are no longer required.
     The same command line can be used for both Syslinux (legacy BIOS)
     and Grub (UEFI) although their escaping conventions are different.
