[cups] Provide password for CLI tools

[Stephan]

Michael,

I did some experimentation this morning and I am now able to add IPP
Everywhere queues like this:

curl \
        -u root:<password> \
        -H "Cookie: org.cups.sid=f61afe434fbf8086ba477899aaba375f" \
        -F "org.cups.sid=f61afe434fbf8086ba477899aaba375f" \
        -F "OP=add-printer" \
        -F "PRINTER_NAME=xxx" \
        -F "PRINTER_LOCATION=" \
        -F "DEVICE_URI=ipp://10.70.235.31/" \
        -F "PPD_NAME=everywhere" \
        http://<host>:631/admin

This does even work with an arbitrary cookie.
