Description
In maint/repair.php, we tell a user they need to add WP_ALLOW_REPAIR.
Since they are already going into wp-config.php, we should also encourage them to update their unique phrases for keys and salts, assuming they do not have a complete set of 8 unique ones already.

Refreshed patch to follow core formatting standards. This is a good idea. Let's get it in.

I am not sure we should harass them about missing keys.

I still believe this is a good change. We could adjust the wording to be even less pushy, but I think it's reasonable to recommend updating them.

I think it's fine to prod somebody who's here about the keys, but the string is a little bit harass-y. Maybe:
While you are editing your wp-config.php file, take a moment to make sure you have all 8 keys and that they are unique. You can generate these using the WordPress.org secret key service.

Looks good.
