Handle `password` field type for plugin configuration

See original GitHub issue

It would be great to be able to store a password in a secure way in the plugins configuration.

Example:

password: {
      title: 'Password',
      type: 'password',
      required: true
},

This consists of 2 components:

Add an ajv definition for type password
Use bcrypt to store the encrpyted password

Yeah, we can add a note that basically says the plugins’ config is saved as a plaintext file, so saving passwords is not particularly safe, but at the end of the day the plugins are made by other users, so if a user wants to install one and enter their password that’s up to them
