[TD-131] Disabled taskd user from logging in

On the taskd install guide on the website, the user taskd is not restricted. Anyone can login as taskd and access tasks at the datadir.

Just simply lock the account to improve security:
passwd -l taskd

Forgot my old account. The guide on the git repos seem to be outdated, so I just uploaded the relevant addition for security improvement

Even though it is a good advice, I do not think the taskserver-setup guide is the right place for it.

We do not explain how to create a taskd-user and how to secure this one.

Important

Taskserver is only compatible with Taskwarrior 2.x, and is no longer actively developed.
