Revert "Add signal handlers for controlling password entry
visibility." (#958608).
This reverts commit 99464761dab4e43cfbf8caa059815c6ab67c6282.
Internet, you may stand down.
I don't know if the devs plan to look at the various 'compromise'

regular old full-on masking. But right now, the status is that we're
