[JENKINS-28699] Password type parameterized fields get bogus auto-population of default value despite empty field on job save

Password type parameters on parameterized jobs are being automatically populated despite having the default value set blank. If I have not filled the field, then it should NOT be filling itself. This occurs in any browser regardless of auto-complete settings, and the value is some hash I've definitely never put in a field, so I am quite sure it isn't the browsers' fault.
