    util: add API for reading password from the console

the fact that "bufptr" pointer may point to either heap or stack
allocated data was overlooked. As a result, when the strdup was
removed, we ended up returning a pointer to the local stack to
the caller. When the caller referenced this stack pointer they
got out garbage which fairly quickly resulted in a crash.

We need to copy the stack buffer into heap memory in the username
case.
