When creating a patron attribute type, there is a "Allow password"
checkbox. If checked, the librarian will be able to enter a password for
this patron attribute when editing a patron.
The goal was to allow a patron to log in with a secondary password.
However, this feature has never been implemented.

extended patron attributes tables & syspref (DB rev 081)
- password_allowed (if set, staff patron editor will
allow a password to be associated with a value; this
is mostly a hook for functionality to be implemented
in the future.
"""
To decrease maintainability, this patch suggest to remove the 2 DB fields
borrower_attributes.password and
borrower_attribute_types.password_allowed
If they have not used by the library.
Test plan:
- Edit a patron attribute type and select "allow password"
- Edit a patron and defined a password for this attribute
- Execute the DB entry
- Note that you get a warning
- Empty the password field
- Execute the DB entry
- You do not get the warning and the 2 DB fields have been removed

Essentially, this patch provides the option to overwrite only matching
Extended Attributes, instead of all of them, treating the ext. fields more
like normal fields.
Several functions added to Members::Attributes with corresponding tests.
