Simplify initial password creation when installing the Linux package

There have been a few negative comments regarding the initial GitLab installation.

Paraphrasing:

  • The procedure is very vague on password for first login.
  • How do I login after a fresh install?

Proposal

Simplify the installation process with only the needed command.

We should have a separate section for folks wanting to initialize their own password.

We also not say anything about first login! I totally missed that when re-working those docs.
