Bug Description

unity8 7.82+13.10.20131005-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu Saucy

TEST CASE:
1. Swipe from top of screen to show local Wi-Fi networks
2. Select a local protected network and try to enter WPA key

EXPECTED RESULT:
The dialog includes an option to display password

ACTUAL RESULT:
There is no option to display the password that has been entered. This is very important as many WPA keys are complex strings and the user needs to verify the correct string has been entered.

Not to be confused with bug 1237614, about showing individual characters as they are typed.

<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking#phone-wifi>: "In the 'Other network' sheet ... Whenever there is a 'Password' field, it should be followed by a 'Show password' checkbox, unchecked by default."

<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking#wifi-connecting-prompted>: "...a dialog should appear suggesting that you connect to wi-fi ... On both form factors, if the authentication fields include a 'Password' field, it should be followed by a 'Show password' checkbox, unchecked by default."

Implementing this would involve toggling the echoMode property of the field. <http://developer.ubuntu.com/api/ubuntu-12.10/qml/mobile/qml-ubuntu-components0-textfield.html#echoMode-prop>
