feat(kernel): User doesn't store the password directly anymore, it is hashed

under a 64-bit FNV algorithm.

why?

 - Better security, so that we're sure that no one else knows about the
   password.

also:

 - Rename super to MGMT (Management), as it manages a NeKernel machine.
 - Added a copy of cxxdrv in the nekernel source tree.
 - Working on the custom manual parser for NeKernel. (PoC)
