[virt-tools-list] [virt-bootstrap PATCH] Don't expose the root_password via command line

Fri Jul 5 08:31:27 UTC 2019


Instead of exposing the root-password in the command line, let's just
improve our way of handling the option and also accept a 'file:'
selector.

Together with this change, let's warn the users that using
--root-password in the old manner is not recommended and that the
'file:' selector should be used instead.
