GUI improvement: Better differentiate between "NZB Password" and "archive Password" #104

As I understand it the NZB Password is also the archive password. So the naming "NZB Password" is misleading as the NZB has no password and is always in plain text. For me it was not clear that there is a connection between these parameters. As soon as "nzb password" is ticket, "archive password" could become grey. The naming could also be changed (perhaps "default archive password" instead of archive password and "post specific password" instead of nzb password). Maybe you have better ideas I just found this confusing.

I think the nzb password tick box is to include the password IN the generated nzb. So if it's unchecked the password will not be stored in the nzb file. Although it's a bit confusing that this is not shown in monitoring mode. Not sure if unchecking it on the main screen would carry over the setting to the monitor screen. What is more confusing is that on the monitor screen there is a generate random password check box. Does this over-ride the pre-set password? Does it have to be unchecked so that a random password doesn't over-ride the archive password? If so then the config file should have a setting to either enable or not enable it.
