[keycloak-dev] Default admin password

[Stian Thorgersen]

It would be nice to extract the ApplianceBootstrap into a keycloak-boostrapping.json file. That would let AeroGear and LiveOak modify this file instead of having to extend the KeycloakApplication. It would be nice if AeroGear and LiveOak had to maintain less redundancy in the future. At the moment they both have to build their own custom WAR, maintaining all dependencies, web.xml, persistence.xml, extending KeycloakApplication, etc. I think we could make this simpler by adding the WAR to Maven, then have Maven remove whatever dependencies AeroGear doesn't use, replace the keycloak-boostrapping.json, and that's it. 

The initial password is only used on first boot, so the server config file isn't suitable.
