FTP password visibility fixes

Hi,

Leonard told me to post the ftp password visibility related patch also
to mc-devel.

The following patch fixes possible displaying of passwords in ftp, fish,
mc, smb urls in hotlist and introduces a new implementation of
strip_password () [based on patch by Jakub Jelinek] which doesn't modify
characters in the input path at all because it uses mem*() functions
instead of str*().

It also eliminates possible passwords displayed in paths in error
messages in case of chdir failure or delete, copy dialogs, etc.

Jindrich
