Subject: [PATCH] alpine-vm: ask for the Cloud-Init credentials (#17355)

The default path set USE_CLOUD_INIT itself, so the username and
password dialogs were skipped; only the advanced path asked. The cloud
image sets no password, so the question is which credentials, not
whether. Same fix as almalinux-vm and fedora-vm.
