Currently, when a transaction failed error occurs, we log the error
message from aptdaemon in software-center.log. If the transaction
failure was associated with a private PPA, the username and password
details will be included in the message from aptdaemon and so will be
included in the log. Since this log can potentially be exposed in a bug
report, we should obfuscate these details in both the log message and
also in the corresponding dialog that is displayed for the error (since
a screenshot of the dialog could potentially be attached to a bug as well).
