ask-password: add option --no-output to not print password to stdout
systemd-ask-password can store passwords in kernel keyring. However it
uses to print the passwords to standard output nevertheless. Depending
on where systemd-ask-password is called passwords may end on display
or in log, leaking sensitive information.
This allows to make systemd-ask-password quiet, effectively disabling
printing passwords to standard output.
