Log:
  MFC r359642: adduser: allow standard IFS characters in passwords

  Notably, the default IFS contains space/tab, thus any leading/trailing
  whitespace characters tend to be removed.

  Set IFS= for just the read lines to mitigate this, allowing the user to be
  less surprised when their leading/trailing spaces weren't actually captured
  in the password as they are with other means of setting a user's password.
