Support for changing user passwords

Currently, the only option to change passwords for users is by directly modifying the usr table using the PostgreSQL CLI, like this:

#!sql
  update usr set password = md5('mynewpassword')
     where login = 'myusername';

It would be great to have a panel somewhere (probably under “Users » Personal Page”) to let users change passwords by themselves. Not having this is annoying when not using LDAP authentication.

    Allow password change from the users management screen in the web interface.

With this commit, admin users are able to change the passwords of every user in the application. It's a first step, but regular users can't change their own password yet.
