Introduce env variables support for IRIS container images for password setup Merged

Currently one needs to open UI to change the default password or to use a cumbersome passwordhash approach which is maybe OK for production but is not an optimal approach with day-to-day development when you need to respawn docker images again and again.

It'd be great to introduce a support of environment variables to setup a password for newly starting docker image of IRIS similarly it is being used in many other DBMS with docker usage approach.
