Allow password in Play UI URL with history replacement

Official CH changelog text
Allow ?password=pass in URL of the Play UI. Password is replaced in browser history. #49505 (Mike Kot).
Allow specifying the password directly in the URL query parameter in the Play UI, with the password being masked in the browser history.

Why it matters

This feature enables users to conveniently provide their password through the URL when accessing the ClickHouse Play UI, improving ease of login while enhancing security by preventing the password from being stored in the browser history.

How to use it

Include the password as a query parameter in the URL using ?password=your_password. When accessed, the Play UI will use this password for authentication and ensure it is replaced in the browser history to avoid exposure.
