Enhancement: Support repositories with empty password
Restic previously required a password to create or operate on repositories.
Using the new option `--insecure-no-password` it is now possible to disable
this requirement. Restic will not prompt for a password when using this option.
For security reasons, the option must always be specified when operating on
repositories with an empty password, and specifying `--insecure-no-password`
while also passing a password to restic via a CLI option or environment
variable results in an error.
The `init` and `copy` commands add the related `--from-insecure-no-password`
option, which applies to the source repository. The `key add` and `key passwd`
commands add the `--new-insecure-no-password` option to add or set an empty
password.
