Bug 668119

Description of problem:

minor cosmetic annoyance in the ipa cli help and in the doc for user-add password option

may be there was a change over time on how this option works, or may be this is till changing.

doc at
http://obriend.fedorapeople.org/freeIPA2.0/Identity_and_Policy_Management_Guide/html-single/#chap-Enterprise_Identity_Management_Guide-Quick_Install_of_IPA

Procedure 14.1. To create the user jlamb using the command line:

    *
      Open a shell and run the following command:
      ipa user-add jlamb --first=John --last=Lamb --password jlamb 
"

Should be more like
"
      ipa user-add jlamb --first=John --last=Lamb --password
"

There is no argument or value to pass to the --password option, it is a trigger to prompt for a password.
 
And for the user-add command with the password option, strings passwd versus password strings:

the examples provided in
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ipalib/plugins/user.py
suggest
"
 Add a new user:
   ipa user-add --first=Tim --last=User --passwd tuser1
"

should be more like:
"
 Add a new user:
   ipa user-add --first=Tim --last=User --password
"


as we have defined the string "password", at:
        Password('userpassword?',
            cli_name='password',
            label=_('Password'),
            doc=_('Prompt to set the user password'),

also in:

ipa user-add --help
Usage: ipa [global-options] user-add LOGIN

Options:
...
  --password         Prompt to set the user password
