Improve UX for redacted fields in DAST Profiles

Dheeraj Joshi requested to merge djadmin-fix-auth-placeholders into master

A follow-up MR from !58735 (merged)

What does this MR do?

This tries to improve the UX for request headers and password field in DAST Site Profile Form.

  • backend has started sending redacted values for request headers & password field - when present
  • frontend starts utilizing backend values directly instead of mocking them with placeholders, for SSOT
  • frontend also makes sure not to send these dummy values in the mutations

Screenshots (strongly suggested)

Refer the request headers / password fields.
