Pull Request

Motivation

It was suggested as a feature to be able to totally hide the password in lockscreen so that even its length could not be seen, in public for instance.

This MR replaces the toggle setting for circle/random with a combo which adds invisible as an option. It's not invisible icon per se, just that we do not draw anything. This MR replaces the other setting (and modifies I18n entries), so it will be reset to the default value (circle) for people that had random enabled.

Yeah, looks good. It doesn't show anything when typing in the password. Maybe we can remove the cursor notification (position indicator) when hidden too.

I wanted to do that, but without it you do not have any feedback at all that the password field is focused and that typing actually works (well, the "show password" icons appears but I don't feel it's enough)
