When providing root/superuser db credentials, instead of using them as-is Nextcloud uses them to create a new non-root/superuser user.

While this can be useful to protect admins against accidentally running with elevated db access, this also interferes with some setup mechanisms that want more control over what db user is used. Currently the only option for these systems is to patch out the behavior themselves (see for NixOs for example).

This adds a way to disable this behavior by setting the setup_create_db_user config variable to false, this can also be done trough an environment variable (NC_setup_create_db_user=false) for the setup command.
