Adds a nice asterisk display when you type your password into sudo. This might be controversial, but I think this is a useful change because: - it doesn't undermine security in any realistic way, - it's slightly more user friendly in general for everyone, and aligns with the expected UX of a standard password entry box, - it removes a UX hiccup for new users, many of which I have seen get confused about why their password "doesn't type". If we're striving for mass adoption, this is the type of thing that should be put under the microscope. Ubuntu does this (unintentionally, since they use sudo-rs), and Zorin OS intentionally does this as they are quite unique in trying to create an end-to-end intuitive UX for your average non-tech savvy person, which is something we should strive to do.
