Subject: [PATCH] demo-orgs: Make password not required for demo org creation.

Creating a demo organization will not require the user to
set either an email or password, so explicitly set the
password field to not be required for that case.

Updates the form submitted in the dev environment to create
a new demo organization to not send a password value.
