Mobile/Archive/MasterPassword

Summary

Allow users to (optionally) encrypt saved passwords with a master password, and prompt for the master password before auto-filling saved passwords (just like desktop Firefox).

Users who use master passwords on desktop Firefox could then sync passwords to Fennec without a big reduction in their security. This would also be an advantage for Fennec over other mobile browsers, and fits in with Mozilla's privacy positioning.

Current Status
