user.authorizer.can_change_password should return take in to account multiple possible authorizes

Issue: If authentication is set to ENV,DB and you authenticate via ENV the password field becomes unavailable. This means that an admin authenicated via ENV is unable to configure a passwords for user accounts.

Additionally if automatic account creation is not enabled with ENV then a password is still being required when an admin generates the account. Resulting in an 'password_too_short' error.

I actually wonder if there is ever a time that the password entry field needs to be omitted for the admin edit user screen?
Your second bug, at least, is a dupe (which is OK, because bugs should focus on only one thing, and so the one thing this can focus on is calling a different sort of can_change_password for editusers.cgi).
Summary: user.authorizer.can_change_password should reconcile multiple possible auth types → user.authorizer.can_change_password should reconcile multiple possible auth types for editusers.cgi
