The image creates NEXTCLOUD_ADMIN_USER only on a fresh install. novox's
instance was installed before the mesh adopted it, so mesh-admin was never
created there, and the shares poll asked Nextcloud every minute with a login
that cannot pass: 401, then Nextcloud's brute-force throttle (429), which
also held the backup before a delivery.
On a refused login the client now adds the account through occ (admin
group), or sets its password to the module's own secret, passing it by
OC_PASS so it is on no argv, and asks once more. A refusal that stays is
said once and the poll backs off from 5 minutes to an hour instead of nine
lines of XML every minute. An empty setting no longer becomes an empty name.
