In this stage, you'll add support for responding to the `ACL GETUSER` command with the `passwords` property.

### The `passwords` property
### The `passwords` Property

A user in the Redis ACL system can have zero or more passwords associated with them. The `ACL GETUSER` command also returns the `passwords` property of the specified user.
The `passwords` property lists all hash-encoded passwords associated with a user.

The `default` user does not have any associated passwords unless explicitly configured:

Example usage:
```bash
> ACL GETUSER default
1) "flags"

The fourth element of the response is the passwords array. The default user does not have any associated passwords unless explicitly configured. This is why the passwords array is empty for the default user.
Your `ACL GETUSER` response must now include the following:

1. The string `passwords`, encoded as a bulk string.
2. A RESP array containing the list of passwords. Since the `default` user has none, you must hardcode this to be an empty array.

The tester will validate that the response is a RESP array with four elements:

1. The first element of the array is the string `flags`, encoded as a RESP bulk string.
