[keycloak-user] Porting user passwords to keycloak

[Stian Thorgersen]

So looks like we will indeed have password hash spi in 1.8. It'll be
released in early January.

If you can't wait for that I think it would be better to not import users
with a password at all and instead send reset password links to their email
address. That would assume all users have emails registered. Or you could
also modify the password authenticator and make it run md5 the value of the
input password for users that haven't updated their password yet.
