#18116: backport fix to 3.3 since real-world failure mode demonstrated.
In issue 20074 it was pointed out that getpass would fail with a traceback if
stdin was, for example /dev/null, which is a non-unlikely scenario.
Also backported the tests from issue 17484 as modified by issue 18116.
(What I really did was copy getpass.py and test_getpass.py from their
state on tip as of 17bd04fbf3d3).
