Feature flag

The workaround avoids the build log flooding by skipping the creation of variables if they are password variables (variable name contains "password", "awsSecretKey" or "passphrase") and the variable value contains only asterisks.

For the (unlikely) case that this would affect any existing build configurations, the workaround can be disabled by setting a global or plan variable utoolity.flags.disableWorkaroundForBAM17488 to true.
