Remove display of passwords and authentication tokens in settings

Description

If possible, it would be preferable not to display passwords or authentication tokens in:

  • Settings > LDP > Database configuration > Password

  • Settings > LDP > Saved queries configuration > OAuth token for access to repository

If a password text field component is available, that may provide a good interface.  Otherwise, leaving the field blank might be best.

Environment

None

I think there is almost nothing to be done on the client side, then: once MODLDP-25 is done, the actual functionality will be complete. At that point, all I will do in ui-ldp is modify the wording in the relevant settings page to explain what's going on, and put in field placeholders that say "[Hidden]".

Well, I can do this. But it's not going to provide and protection against someone who knows how to open the Dev Tools in their browser and look at the network responses. I wonder if this is security theatre and will give a misleadingly reassuring image of being safe?
