Issue: IRC server environment requires user authentication. The IRC client environment prohibits the storage of a plain text passwords.

Since encrypting passwords in the servlist.conf is not a viable feature (as documented in issue #518) could HexChat be given the feature to prompt for a server password?

Please consider adding a checkbox titled "Prompt for server password" under the "Connecting" section in the Server options. When active HexChat would request a password from the user and then use that password to connect to the password protected IRC server without storing the password in plain text anywhere.
