Message:

sojuctl: Add support for creating admin users

This adds a new flag, -admin for creating admin users, which can
access admin service commands, among which create-user to create other
users on-the-fly.

Since the person running the commands in the README will be the local
soju administrator, the user they create should be admin as well, hence
the README update.
