We should change `ExplicitUsersSecurityProvider` and
`GeneratePasswordCommand` to handle missing salts by using the username, rather
than relying on `Passwordhasher` to handle null by replacong with an empty
string. This will increase security, since using an empty string would result
in an unsalted and therefore rainbow-table-lookup possibile hash.
