Description

We have a requirement for a UI that reveals hidden text in a calcite input. It would be really handy if the design system handled this, giving us an opt-in reveal action for a password input type.

Acceptance Criteria

When input is type password, we can opt-in to a reveal action that shows the actual text instead of the hidden text. We would want this to work in all major browsers.

Relevant Info

Some browsers already implement this with the native password input (like edge):

There is also an issue for this in the html spec:
whatwg/html#7293

Edge also adds the reveal to the calcite input, but it would be great to align the design across browsers for our users.

I think this is a great enhancement and one that could justify a standalone calcite-input-password component to align with our newer components like calcite-input-text, calcite-input-number, etc.
