MongoDB authentication and roles

We support MongoDB authentication by default, and so we will generate a database user and admin user along with passwords.

For the database user, we set the following roles inside MongoDB:

["readWriteAnyDatabase", "dbAdminAnyDatabase"]

For the admin user, we set the following roles inside MongoDB:

["root", { role: "dbAdmin", db: "local" }, { role: "dbAdmin", db: "config" }]

The admin user can only access the database via 127.0.0.1 so it cannot be used via external IP addresses.
