Summary REGRESSION: Placeholder text in password field shows as bullets

Placeholder text on non-search field elements seems to have made a reappearance recently but when used on password fields, the placeholder is displayed as security bullets making it rather useless.

Right now, we have this rule in html4.css: input[type="password"] { -webkit-text-security: disc !important; } We could remove this, and set the property in RenderTextControl. We would need code in RenderTextControl::createInnerTextStyle and in RenderTextControl::updatePlaceholder.
