Bug #1191453: Make password field of type password

The password should not be displayed in
plaintext. I changed the type of the input
field to "password" to account for that.

  Don't show password in cleartext

Bug description:
  When you are on admin/edit.php or admin/add.php, the password you
  enter for a user is displayed in cleartext. This is not good esp. when
  you have form filling turned on in your browser as it remembers the
  passwords that you typed in.

  The easiest solution is to make this field type "password" so that it
  is treated like a password field.

  More complicated would be to allow the admin to toggle between viewing
  the password or not (like in Moodle) or to implement a password
  confirmation (like on the account settings page).
