Security: Redact Database Password from Errors

[garrettladley]

Describe the feature

Provide the ability to hide the database password from logs/error messages. Perhaps as an additional field in gorm.Config, perhaps as an option within struct tags (@DOOduneye), or both.

Motivation

This would enhance security by preventing sensitive database passwords from being exposed in error messages. Currently, when an error occurs in database interactions, the password may inadvertently appear in error logs or messages, posing a potential security risk. Adding an additional field in gorm.Config to hide the database password will help mitigate this risk and improve overall system security.

Adding this as an option that defaults to hiding the password, then opting in to showing it will provide a guardrail for gorm users. Or at a more granular level with struct tags will help prevent inadvertent secret leaking.
