Remove unnecessary String creation from password char[] (elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch#713)

This commit removes an unnecessary String creation from the char[] of a password and instead uses
a byte[] that is cleared after it is used to prevent the password bytes from sticking around in
memory longer than required.
