Subject: [PATCH] compat/getpass.c: Fix a sparse "symbol not declared" warning

```

In particular, sparse complains as follows:

        SP compat/getpass.c
    compat/getpass.c:5:6: warning: symbol 'getpass_echo' was not \
        declared. Should it be static?

In order to suppress the warning, we include the getpass.h header
file which contains an appropriate extern declaration.

Hi Jeff,

When you next re-roll your most recent credentials/getpass series, could
you please squash this patch in. (This patch was against pu @ 1cc922af,
but I guess you need to apply a similar patch to commit 8eca119c "stub out
getpass_echo function", 27-11-2011 instead)

Thanks!

ATB,
Ramsay Jones

Sure, makes sense. Thanks.
