man: add hint how to show password strings with userdbctl
I started working on a command-line switch to show passwords also in
"pretty" mode. I can submit that code for review if anyone thinks that
woul be useful, but after writing the man page I realized that it's a
fairly niche case, and the hint in the man page is a sufficient
replacement.
