[keycloak-user] Defining a new user password through REST API

[Rodrigo Sasaki]

The idea is that we're working on an integration phase between our old
authentication code and keycloak.

The step in question is that whenever the user alters his information in
our old system, we'll send those alterations to keycloak already, so in
true effect I won't be changing the user's password, but I'd like to have
an API call to change his password on keycloak whenever he changes it on
our current system
