installer: Ask for the root account password.
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/35399>. * gnu/installer/newt/user.scm (run-root-password-page): New procedure. * gnu/installer/user.scm (users->configuration): Filter out the "root" account. * gnu/installer/final.scm (create-user-database): Set 'uid' field in 'user-account' form.
