Description

Current installer writes the username/password pair in ~/.st2/config.

https://github.com/StackStorm/st2-packages/blob/480f09944e4a22125d2d8f372aae6506fd451a25/scripts/st2bootstrap-deb.sh#L322-L324

The new way is to use st2 login --save-password which is more smart and really authenticates and saves credentials.

Bonus: Apply the same enhancement to ansible-st2.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Replace the inline username/password in ~/.st2/config with a call to 'st2 login save password' in the installation scripts. Also update the corresponding ansible st2 role.
