Description of changes
This attempts to clarify the true behavior of password option overrides, as the documentation seems to be wrong (and appears to have been for at least 10 years). These docs also clarify systemd-sysusers quirks that I coincidentally noticed someone happened to file recently here as well.
The relevant option docs have been updated, but more importantly I created two new tests to try to show the true behavior of the overrides in their current form. This way if anything ever changes on this front it will be caught and docs can be updated accordingly.
If you want to run the tests I added, you will have to change the maintainer for now as my being added to maintainers is pending this PR being merged.
I've not used Nix for very long, so would appreciate someone who has dealt with this code in the past to validate what I've found. @nikstur and @NeQuissimus, perhaps you could both take a look as I've repurposed some of your tests that touch the same areas, so I suspect you'll both be familiar.
