Description

Create a terraform resource to allow the changing of the admin password to support automation.

When deploying a new nexus instance via terraform, we also apply the nexus configuration using terraform, which needs to be via a user with the correct permissions and with a clean instance, this is the admin user.

Rather than getting the password from the nexus instance admin_password file, we could update the user credentials during the creation of the instance and then store these values into a secret store to then be referenced later to create a more fluid deployment.
