Implemmented MQTT authentication in the Mosquitto container

changes made:
disabled anonymous access
added password_file to mosquitto configuration
created a user automatically during container startup
updated mosquitto-init to use eclipse-mosquitto

Current credentails:
username: mqttuser, password: mqttpassword

Tested:
Mosquitto starts successfully with authentication enabled
Anonymous MQTT connections are rejected with NotAuthorized
Existing services fail until they are updated to provide credentials

Note:
Other services are not yet updated to use authentication. it will be handled in a separate task.

All the changes for MQTT authentication look right, they do what they are supposed to do. I have noticed in relation to this change that all other MQTT clients that connect anonymously will most likely fail. I have checked both readTempSensorMockup and middleware and they will likely not work after the change as I cannot see any authentication. So both those files will have to be updated as well in another issue.

A question also: "chmod 0700 /mosquitto/config/passwd" should this be 0600 instead since this is a password file and doesn't need execute permissions?

A question: Now the credentials are hardcoded in the file. Is this a safe way or should they be stored in a safer space ( e.g environment variables)?
