simplify samba-tool password redaction

As per https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15289 during password redaction for process titles, user input (namely their password) is copied verbatim into a regular expression. This changes it into an arbitrary different, possibly invalid, regular expression.

We now re-use the samba_cmdline_burn() code for consistency.
