Make default installations a bit more secure: - push a bit harder for setup of a root password - simplify/clarify manual entropy setup - visit the entropy setup (on machines where it is needed) on the default path through sysinst

Re-enable the entropy handling code in sysinst (only visible on machines that do not have full entropy), but move it to the config menu instead of enforcing it as mandatory step.
This menu is shown at the end of the setup, or if explicitly invoked from the main menu.
Some of the input options are complex but useful in some situations and code to support them is tiny. Most users will use the manual input (first + default option) but some might prefer to connect a USB TRNG or have easy setups to transfer entropy from another machine (while copy & paste on a serial console sometimes is tricky).

Add (experimental) entropy input support: Early during new installs or after upgrades we check if entropy is available. If not (no hardware random number generator available) we inform the user and ask them to fix it.
