install.sh: self-answering credentials - zero sudo prompts

ssh ControlMaster keeps one authenticated connection (login typed at
most once, or never with sshpass installed); sudo answers itself via a
SUDO_ASKPASS helper carrying the image's public default password (sudo
-S would have eaten the boot image's first bytes from stdin). Helper
lives on tmpfs and evaporates with the install reboot.
