Enable user without password (#16770)

Closes:
- https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10397
- #10397 

An administrator should know whether he wants to set a password or not.
There are many uses cases where a blank password is required.

- Use of only some users with SSO.
- Use of bots with password, users with SSO
