Add --password command-line arg (or environment variable)

User request: would allow people to edit their own desktop shortcuts to automatically open ENLIGHTEN with the production password.
Obviously putting clear-text passwords on the command-line is insecure (they typically appear in process listings, especially on POSIX), yet this is also a very common mechanism with database clients and the like.
An alternative would be to check for an environment variable (export ENLIGHTEN_PASSWORD=foo).
I'm ambivalent on the mechanism, but agree it's a valid request.
