In systemd after version 216, systemd-ask-password will support --echo which will avoid masking the user input. As OpenVPN uses this mechanism collecting usernames when systemd is available, this will avoid the input of usernames to be masked.
This patch also adds the --icon argument, which is aimed at graphical inputs. For example when OpenVPN is started at system boot-time using a graphical boot interface such as Plymouth.
