CLONE - Puppet device displays credentials in plain text when run manually

The device.conf format may only contain section headers (containing the certname as the section title) and type, url, and debug configuration entries (as per https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/3.7.4/lib/puppet/util/network_device/config.rb#L62) which means that authentication credentials are and have always been added to the url setting.

When running the puppet device command with verbose as puppet device -v the output prints Info: starting applying configuration to <device> at https://<username>:<password>@<address> because of https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/3.7.4/lib/puppet/application/device.rb#L172

Thus the output shows the full login URL from the device.conf including the password in plain text with no way to suppress this output.
