This attempts to resolve atuinsh#2769 by adding a new `secrets_redact` option. When enabled this option will change how `secrets_filter` works: - If `secrets_filter = false` then no change is made, secrets will appear in the users' history, regardless of `secrets_redact`. - If `secrets_filter = true` and `secrets_redact` is `false`, then the "old" behaviour will occur: any detected secret will exclude that whole command from the users' history. - If `secrets_filter = true` and `secrets_redact = true` then this _new_ mode will engage: commands with secrets will be edited before they're saved into history and the secret _content_ will be replaced with the string `"[REDACTED]"`.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This true looks scary so I added a debug_assert! to make sure we're really sure we can safely pass true 😅

I think I've got it largely correct but given how sensitive the topic is I'd prefer some extra scrutiny on this one.
