community/calamares-extensions: change min pass length

Oliver Smith requested to merge ollieparanoid/aports:calamares-6-chars-patch into master 
Require at least 6 characters instead of 8 and mention that digits can
also be used. Most users set something like a 6 digit number on their
lockscreen, it is even what we have by default in the postmarketOS
images when you don't use the installer. So requiring 8 in the installer
does not make sense.

Upstream: https://github.com/calamares/calamares-extensions/pull/24

Why add this patch now?

  • Preparing the v23.06 postmarketOS release
  • We put our patches through (pmOS, alpine) edge first, before backporting to stable
  • This package is in alpine so I put it here
  • I did ask calamares-extensions upstream to tag a new release, but probably will take a bit.

If Alpine would rather not have me add this, that's also fine then I'll put it in pmaports master until there is a new release of calamares-extensions.
