monitor: Rework early disk password inquiry (Jan Kiszka)

Reading the passwords for encrypted hard disks during early startup is
broken (I guess for quiet a while now):
- No monitor terminal is ready for input at this point
- Forcing all mux'ed terminals into monitor mode can confuse other
users of that channels

To overcome these issues and to lay the ground for a clean decoupling of
monitor terminals, this patch changes the initial password inquiry as
follows:
- Prevent autostart if there is some encrypted disk
- Once the user tries to resume the VM, prompt for all missing
passwords
- Only resume if all passwords were accepted
