api: added a bootstrap endpoint

This new endpoint lives inside of the user namespace and its main goal is to
allow people to create the first admin user from the API. This endpoint is only
allowed if the `first_user_admin` option has not been disabled. Another
restriction is that there shouldn't be a user already created. Last but not
least, this method can be called without being authenticated.

In the ideal case, you would call this method when you just started your Portus
instance. Then, you will get the first user created
(same arguments as `POST /api/v1/users`) and it will also get an application
token assigned to it. The reponse will be the `plain_token` from the application
token. Thus, the whole point of this method is to follow this workflow:

1. Portus instance deployed.
2. Admin uses this bootstrap endpoint to create the admin user and get an
   application token.
3. With this application token the admin starts to administrate the
   instance (e.g. register the registry on Portus) entirely from the API.
4. Admin makes the Portus instance available inside of the organization and
   starts structuring it inside of Portus.

Finally, this commit also started to make error responses more uniform. This was
firstly done to DRY some of the code created by this feature. It probably needs
more work (see SUSE#1437).
