      When the CLI `install_database.php` script is used `supportemail` is not set.

      Even when an admin logs into the site via the web UI and navigates around they are not prompted to set this field. However when the support contact details are edited this field is marked as required and cannot be left blank if the form needs to be saved.

      The original reports details are below.

      The behaviour should be:

      • Add an optional CLI param to `install_database.php` to allow this to be explicitly set
      • If a value isn't explicitly passed to `install_database.php` set to the admin email address.

      I'm trying to develop a function to create the Moodle instance automatically, so all users even the ones who don't have knowledge on server installation can create a new instance of Moodle in easy way. And I was about to use install_database.php to transfer the user provided information to the new Moodle instance. It works well, but when I tried to access the site, it still requires user to put in the user support email, cause it is missed from the install_database.php file.
