Allow user to choose login name and password during setup

[ketsugi]

When running install.php, the default user's login name is set to "admin" and the password to a random string. Why not allow the user to type a login name and choose a password right at the beginning, negating the necessity for the user to immediately login and change the password. This would also mean that there will be fewer (eventually) Wordpress installs out there with an "admin" account with admin privileges.

...Or you could ignore everything I said about the password, since it's already covered in #2870, and let this ticket be just about the login name.

allow user the select username

I figured it would be safer to keep the password randomized. It produces a strong password and some people's passwords tend to not be that secure. This gives wordpress security by default.

I guess we want to sanitize the username to be safe. I would use something like:

if(!eregi("^([0-9 a-z])+$", $admin_username)) {};

Or should it use the functions in registration_functions.php like on lines 38 and 39.

forgot to add a semicolon

See bug #2870 for this patch plus some added stuff.
