cli: avoid data-dir initialization for version; create db parent dirs; redact generated passwords in CLI output

- Prevent 'nx9-wg version' from creating data directories by avoiding database initialization.
- Create parent directories when an explicit --database path is provided.
- Redact printed generated administrator passwords; announce file path or redact instead.
