This function echoes `.' for each character that the user types.
The user ends with RET, LFD, or ESC. DEL or C-h rubs out. C-u kills line.
C-g quits; if `inhibit-quit' was non-nil around this function,
-then it returns nil if the user types C-g.
+then it returns nil if the user types C-g, but quit-flag remains set.
Once the caller uses the password, it can erase the password
by doing (clear-string STRING)."
