admin is dead, long live $USER

[Ian Booth]

Hey Tim

The new bootstrap UX has not removed any --admin-user flag.
I can see that the server jujud bootstrap command has an --admin-user argument
but it appears this is never set anywhere in the cloud init scripts. Or not that
I can see. I've checked older version of the relevant files and can't see where
we've ever used this.

So maybe we have a capability to bootstrap the controller agent with a specified
admin-user but have not hooked it up yet?
