Specifying password with -p option is considered unsafe.
The password will be saved in bash history.
The preferred approach is to enter the password when prompted.
Any approach that passes the password via command line arguments
makes that password visible in process options (ps command), no matter
if the password is passed directly or as an environment variable.

Update create superuser procedure:
- Remove notes about default `cassandra` superuser
- Add create superuser using existing superuser section
- Update create superuser by using `scylla.yaml` config
- Add create superuser using maintenance socket
Update password reset procedure:
- Add maintenance socket approach
- Remove the old approach with deleting all the roles
Update enabling authentication with downtime and during runtime:
- Mention creating new superuser over the maintenance socket
- Remove default superuser usage
Update enable authorization:
- Mention creating new superuser over the maintenance socket
- Remove mention of default superuser
Reasoning for deletion of the old approach:
- [old] Needs cluster downtime, removes all roles, needs recreation of roles,
needs maintenance socket anyways, if config values are not used for superuser
- [new] No cluster downtime, possibly one node restart to enable maintenance
socket, faster

This commit removes the 5.4-to-6.0 upgrade guide and all references to it.
It mainly removes references to the Enable Consistent Topology Updates page,
which was added as enabling the feature was optional.
In rare cases, when a reference to that page is necessary,
the internal link is replaced with an external link to version 6.0.
Especially the Handling Cluster Membership Change Failures page was modified
for troubleshooting purposes rather than removed.
Separate keyspace which also behaves as system brings
little benefit while creating some compatibility problems
like schema digest mismatch during rollback. So we decided
to move auth tables into system keyspace.
Fixes https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/18098Closesscylladb/scylladb#18769
This commit includes updates related to replacing system_auth with system_auth_v2.
- The keyspace name system_auth is renamed to system_auth_v2.
- The procedures are updated to account for system_auth_v2.
- No longer required system_auth RF changes are removed from procedures.
- The information is added that if the consistent topology updates feature
was not enabled upon upgrade from 5.4, there are limitations or additional
steps to do (depending on the procedure).
The files with that kind of information are to be found in _common folders
and included as needed.
- The upgrade guide has been updated to reflect system_auth_v2 and related impacts.
