libfetch: Change default FTP password to anonymous@anonymous

Current default behavior is to send username@hostname to any FTP server that
asks.

Leaking username and hostname to every FTP server should be opt-in not opt-out.
Users desiring this behavior can set this variable:

```
FTP_PASSWORD=`whoami`@`hostname`
```

You can verify that `fetch(1)` sends username & hostname with the following two
commands:

```
doas pkg install netcat
echo -e '220\n331\n' | netcat -lp 8080
```

```
fetch -vv ftp://localhost:8080
```

See attached patch.
