 Posts: Add filter to allow overriding `post_password_required` return

 Post Passwords are incredibly inflexible. One Password per site at a time
 and other limitations that can't really be changed without a backwards
 compatibility break.  This adds the ability for sites to change the
 password behavior such as doing per post passwords or allowing multiple
 passwords to be set in a browser. The possibilities are YUGE.

 Additionally, it allows for a behavior other than returning a html form
 when a password is needed. This is important for non website use cases
 (such as in a restful API).

 Fixes #38056. See #16483.
 Props rmccue.
