Patch

Sudo has a feature that allows it to be configured to display * on
password input.  Perhaps this can also be done in SSH.

https://github.com/lbt/sudo/blob/master/src/tgetpass.c#L267

I created a small implementation on the portable version for this. 
Please see attached patch file.  Original target version was 8.6p1 but
it also works with 8.8p1.  It still needs configurability.

--- Comment #1 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
Sorry, I don't think this justified another configuration option.
