Gitea version (or commit ref): 1.6.x
Git version: any
Operating system: any
Database (use [x]): any

Description

It would be good addition to #4489 (Force user to change password), as new admin-created users have temporary passwords - would be nice to add random password generator option to gitea admin create-user commans.

Example syntax: gitea admin create-user --name=jane --email=jane@example.org --random-password

Or just imply --random-password if no --password=xxxxxxxx set.

If random password parameter specified, new password should be printed to stdout on successful user creation to make admin copy it and send to new user. Or if mail is configured, this temporary password may be also sent to new user's email.

Probably random password should be composed of characters which are hard to mistype (without 0 O, i l 1 and other similar pairs)

@adelowo I didn't started working on it yet, better if you work on this feature because i'm less experienced in golang
