Log:
  lualoader: Add a twiddle at password prompt
  
  This gives some form of feedback while typing, and matches-(ish*) Forth
  behavior. The cursor generally rests two column after the password prompt,
  then the twiddle is drawn three columns later and the cursor reset to
  resting position after being drawn.
  
  I've removed the note about re-evaluating it for security considerations and
  instead set it up as a module-local variable that we can set later depending
  on environment or something. It's set to false with no chance of changing at
  the moment.
  
  *As close as I can tell from reading check-password.4th, because I don't
  have an easy test (or deployed) setup for forth loader to check how close
  it is. Please do mention if it's not close enough.
