Description
It would be handy to have an h:inputSecret type component capability in ACE.
The path of least resistance seems to be to simply add a new "secret=true/false" attribute to the existing ace:textEntry component.
When secret="true" is specified, the component would render it's value inside an <input type="password"> HTML element, which renders entered characters as asterisks.
However, it in order to preserve the labelPosition="inField" behaviour, the component would need to be able to dynamically switch the "type='password'" attribute of the HTML element on the client, so that it would use a none-password value so long as the label was displayed "inField", and dynamically switch to a "type='password'" mode once the user started to enter a value.
In addition to the "secret" attribute, we should also add a new "redisplay" attribute which would control whether the component redisplays it's entered value after a submit.

For reference:
h:inputSecret Description
The inputSecret tag renders an <input type="password"> HTML tag. When the user types a string into this field, a row of asterisks is displayed instead of the text the user types.
Use <h:inputSecret> tag represents the password field.
Password fields mask the content of what the user is typing.
Setting redisplay = “true” allow the component to display its value when the page reloads. The default value of redisplay attribute is false.
