[libvirt] [PATCH 1/4] virsh: secret: Add 'secret-passwd' command

Add a command which allows to read a secret value from terminal.
'secret-passwd' is chosen as a name as the password has limitations as
passwords do have (printable, terminated by newline which is not
contained in the value). This makes it way more user-friendly to use the
secret driver with virsh when setting a value.

+----------------
+
+**Syntax:**
+
+.. code-block::
+
+   secret-passwd secret
+
+Set the value associated with *secret* (specified by its UUID) to a string
+read from stdin. Note that input is terminated by a newline and the secret
+can't contain non-printable characters. Use *secret-set-value* for generic
+secrets. Note that this requires a terminal associated with virsh to read
+the password.
