Product: Portable OpenSSH

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.
