Until I develop a captive portal-based mechanism for initially
configuring the WiFi on Raspberry Pi machines, the easiest way to do
initial provisioning is using the CLI via the serial console.  Since the
root account has no password, and I don't want to have to specify one in
downstream projects' configurations, I've added a configuration option
to enable automatically launching a root shell connected to the serial
console instead of a login prompt.  The security risks here are pretty
minimal, because someone would need phyiscal access to the device in
order to use this shell, in which case they could use any number of
other methods to get control of the system.
