Preferences: Hide password

[shiftgeist]

The password is currently shown in clear text. I think the user is more used to the characters being replaced by dots.

~~@jpochyla Is the problem that Druid doesn't have corresponding password textbox yet? If you simply don't have time, would you take a PR for that?~~ P.S. Thanks for building and working on psst. Worked like charm on my MBP.

Edit: Yes, it's a problem in Druid for now. Found corresponding issue and WIP PR in Druid.

Looks like the PR for Druid was closed as the author wasn't aware of anyone who wanted this feature (see: https://github.com/linebender/druid/pull/1839#issuecomment-961144628). I wonder if we showed a proof of concept of psst using this PR that would help things move along.

POC of psst using TexBox::protected from jpochyla/druid/psst rebased on the PR branch available here: https://github.com/restitux/psst. It's working correctly for me on Linux. I cannot test other platforms. If others could test, that would be great!

Hi @restitux trying to run the fix on Windows but am getting:

error: -Csplit-debuginfo=unpacked is unstable on this platform error: could not compile cfg-if due to previous error

when compiling. Does the change require nightly rust? I have the latest version of the stable rust toolchain (rustc 1.65.0).
