 Upgrade/Install: Avoid creating nonce during installation.

 This avoids a "Table `wp_options` doesn't exist" database error when
 trying to create a nonce for password reset button.

 When installing and using database-saved salts, `wp_create_nonce()` causes
 database errors as `wp_salt()` attempts to insert into the not-yet-created
 options table. Since authentication is not available during installation,
 we can safely skip creating a nonce.

 Follow-up to [39684], [50129].

 Props schlessera, swissspidy, sanketchodavadiya, hellofromTonya,

 Fixes #53830.
