        Add -r chars option for removing chars from password.
        
        The biggest annoyance on German Keyboards is the swap
        of y and z to the American Keyboard layout. Sometimes
        it cant be avoided to use American Keyboard e.g. on
        LOM/BMC/IPMI access. It would be nice to be able to
        avoid yYzZ in passwords because of this problem.
        As there will definitly be other Keyboard layouts
        which have the same problem add an option to avoid
        an arbitrary group of chars.
