Regenerate temporary passwords with null bytes
Previously, we silently cut off temporary passwords that contained a
null byte. With the change to CString, we returned a LibraryError
instead. With this patch, we change to generate_password function to
continue generating passwords until we have a password without a null
byte.
The chance of generating a password with a null byte is ca. 10 % for our
temporary password with 25 characters. Therefore the chance of having
to re-generate the password multiple times is low enough that we don’t
bother with re-generating only the null bytes of the password for the
time being. This should be improved in the future.
