[Bug 1357548] Re: [settings] Empty PIN/password/passphrase field appears to contain 4 characters

This is a bug in the dialog's use of textfield. We currently set an
inputMask of "9999" which causes the pre-population of asterisks. The
correct thing to do is set maximumLength to 4 and  not set an inputMask.
The experience is that the field stops taking input after the 4th digit,
and properly displays the digits one at a time as they are input to a
blank field.

Bug description:
  minor interrelated issues & probably needs design input
  1) visual inconsistency of the pin text box prompt shows 4 "bullets" implying needing 4 characters, but the passphrase is text box is empty
  2) selecting the pin text box prompt, the "bullets" remain, and don't respond to delete, they don't disappear once typing begins (i would think dissappear on text box selection)
  3) having a "show password" would be nice

  ------------
  Desired resolution: Passcode/password fields should never contain bullets when you haven't entered anything in them.
