On the REST payload, we pass a map of k v (multiple v possible), and
when k is a cli param which is defined as password, here is the rule:
if the name of k is upper case and start with a prefix (can't remember,
ask Bill), the value has to be encoded on the client side.
But if instead of using K, you make it lower case and remove the prefix,
you can pass v as not encoded.
So Admin gui has a choice of passing( k,encodedvalue,) or( newk,
nonecodedvalue ).
Since the design of admin gui and REST is such that later on, Admin gui
can run in a different vm than GF rest backend, we cannot rely on a
password file.
