Description
This PR [briefly explain what it does]
If the user sets the password with a command-line argument, when gh-ost running, another user can get the password from /proc/{pid}/cmdline file or from
pscommand. It seems to be not secure. Asmysqlclient does, it will be more secure to replace the password with several x letters.script/cibuildreturns with no formatting errors, build errors or unit test errors.
