Hash password

Fixes issues with unexpected characters breaking things when setting the
cookie (like semicolons).

This change as-is does not affect the security of code-server
itself (we've just replaced the static password with a static hash) but
if we were to add a salt in the future it would let us invalidate keys
by rehashing with a new salt which could be handy.
