As an operator,
I want for forms to render form elements appropriately,
so that e.g. credentials may stay confidential.

implementation notes

UISchema offers this by e.g.:
needs migration on updates, see #159
seems tightly coupled with code-base version, whereas we cannot generate this (beyond e.g. converting to JSON), so we may need to store this in version control
- having JSON generated seems possible, and would need to be calculated just like the main schema, tho we may need to check if this is worth it

actually, while react-jsonschema-form handled passwords by its UISchema at the time, the JSON-Schema spec now has at least:

format (respected by JSONForms', in this case for value password)
writeOnly

now, for in as far as we could do with just generated JSON-Schema, that might actually be preferable, in the sense that having to keep a manually curated VCS-tracked UISchema seems a headache - tho even if for just OEM white-labeling (#1029), it would seem nice.

(prior to the switch to JSONForms, this was tracked at #520.)
