[html-formfu] Password fields that do not update unless filled in

[Ben Sommer]

Steve - if you just remove the email field form the formfu config, it won't
show up in the edit form and your controller won't attempt to update it. As
far as allowing user to elect changing the password, I would define a second
form for just the password field. It would be nice to dynamically
conceal/reveal the password field with some ajax, but I have no code to
share for that one.
