Wrap credential and credential-holding types to prevent `Debug` leaks.
The following values are considered confidential, and should never be logged, even by accident:
* `Password`, which is a durable bearer token for a specific Login;
* `IdentitySecret`, which is an ephemeral but potentially long-lived bearer token for a specific Login; or
* `IdentityToken`, which may hold cookies containing an `IdentitySecret`.
These values are now wrapped in types whose `Debug` impls output opaque values, so that they can be included in structs that `#[derive(Debug)]` without requiring any additional care. The wrappers also avoid implementing `Display`, to prevent inadvertent `to_string()`s.
We don't bother obfuscating `IdentitySecret`s in memory or in the `.hi` database. There's no point: we'd also need to store the information needed to de-obfuscate them, and they can be freely invalidated and replaced by blanking that table and asking everyone to log in again. Passwords _are_ obfuscated for storage, as they're intended to be durable.
