Bug Description

while the subiquity debug log is currently readable only by root on disk, you need to make sure to edit your wifi credentials from it before submitting it to bug reports ...

subiquity should replace the passwords with XXXXX when logging so users submitting bug info do not have to edit it.

sadly this is only fixed for the yaml printout to the log ...
http://paste.ubuntu.com/23387590/ shows that there are still a bunch of different places where the key is printed ... i XXXXX'ed them before pasting, there are 6 lines at least
