read-passwd: no longer as secure? |

Spotted this because after a recent git update, I started hearing
passwords as I typed in Emacspeak.
The move to reimplementing read-passwd using read-string appears
to no longer set echo-keystrokes -- but is relying on setting
the display property of the char that is displayed to ?. ---
though this hides on the display it is still available to most
lisp code.
I can update emacspeak so it doesn't speak the chars --- but I
still feel somewhat uneasy about the read-passwd implementation
