Include Username and Password fields in Add Connection #4198

We require username and password for all connection added using the Add Connection form. We should get and save the username and password there itself. This will eliminate the extra step of logon using the logon window.

Linux development in VS has a connection manager that saves the username and password. And it has features comparable us, and is similar to how we handle credentials. We go an extra step by showing the 'Windows Logon dialog' that explicitly asks if users want to save the password in credential manager. This does not mean we remove the Windows logon dialog. That will come in handy for cases when a password change occurs on an existing connection. This is currently not handled by the Linux development project in VS.
