[Bug 1124186] [NEW] better integrate with plymouth

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

Public bug reported:

Options for ask-for-password command:
  --command=<string>             Command to send password to via standard input
  --prompt=<string>              Message to display when asking for password
  --number-of-tries=<integer>    Number of times to ask before giving up (requires --command)
  --dont-pause-progress          Don't pause boot progress bar while asking

Currently cryptroot handles number-of-tries by itself, maybe it's better
to use plymouth api with --command.

Currently there is a noticeable delay between typing a passphrase wrong
& being offered to type it again. But maybe it's just cryptsetup taking
it's time.
