Do not force password reset on next login when change password through API

Description

The linked issue report and merge implemented a forced password user pw reset, when set by API call. This is extremely annoying for our use case. We built a central service for users to change email, password, etc. on all our infrastructure simultaneously. This is not possible any more since changes of Issue gitlab-ce#24606.

Proposal

Make the password reset optional by submitting an extra parameter.
