Describe the problem

Right now, questionary.password().ask() will replace every typed character with an asterisk.

Would be nice if the output could be completely removed, in order to ensure password length is not leaked when looking at the screen/logs of the user.

Describe the solution

The solution should be that no character is displayed when typing a password, similar to how getpass reads the password from the prompt.

I've made a PR in the dependency repository that will solve this issue: prompt-toolkit/python-prompt-toolkit#1962
What will be left is just provide a new option to password to hide the password prompt on-demand.
