Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  When doing SRU for sos 4.7.2 we encountered obfuscation issues,
  although not a regression at the time, it was still an issue that had
  been present for a while

  So, these passwords would be fully visible to the end support
  personnel and therefore leaked passwords.

  [ Test Plan ]

  1. Deploy a sunbeam simple cloud, and run the sos report, check to see if passwords are obfuscated in configuration file
  2. Deploy heat, and ensure auth_encryption_key is obfuscated in configuration file
  3. Deploy placement, and ensure that both NOVA_API_PASS and PLACEMENT_PASS are obfuscated in configuration file
  4. Deploy mysql and ensure password field is obfuscated in configuration file

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  The corresponding files are not obfuscated, and we need to update the
  patches
