Docs for SERVER-24391: Prompt for password on user creation or password change via the shell

      ----------------------------

      Original Description

      Description:

      Document how to use passwordPrompt() instead of specifying an explicit password string literal.

      Engineering Ticket Description:

      When a user is created or when we update a password in the shell, the password is in plain text.

      Can we have a way to mask password on user creation? For example, by prompting for the password with echo off.

      Such feature could also be implemented on password change.
