[PATCH v1 5/6] cmd: allow disabling of timeout for password entry

[Steffen Jaeckel]

In case a user has to enter a complicated password it is sometimes
desireable to give the user more time than the default timeout.
Enabling this feature will disable the timeout entirely in case the user
presses the <Enter> key before entering any other character.
