replace-secret: Init
Add a small utility script which securely replaces secrets in
files. Doing this with `sed`, `replace-literal` or similar utilities
leaks the secrets through the spawned process' `/proc/<pid>/cmdline` file.

Replace a string in one file with a secret from a second file.
Since the secret is read from a file, it won't be leaked through
'/proc/<pid>/cmdline', unlike when 'sed' or 'replace' is used.
