Support non-interactive user password update

Currently user password update require interactive prompting of user's
original password. This is problematic because we can't support
non-interactive applications and therefore hinders automation. This
patch make it possible by optionally accepting an
'--original-password' argument. If specified, we would use it instead
of prompting.
