[MDEPLOY-51] Prompt for username and password if not supplied

**[Paul Gier](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=pgier)** opened **[MDEPLOY-51](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEPLOY-51?redirect=false)** and commented

Allow the user to supply a user name password for a remote server when the deploy goal is called. Currently you have to add the repository username and password to the server.xml file. It would be helpful if the user could be prompted for a username and password on the command line. The password should be hidden when it is entered.
