add option to wipe encrypted fields in db

Description

User in made a backup of their config without copying the secret seed. This exposed the fact that we don’t easily have the ability to wipe encrypted fields from our db and have user re-type in passwords in all the various places.

That’s, obviously, not a trivial change so this is a ticket to be tracked as a new feature to do this. We would need to:

  1. have UI option to reset encrypted fields

  2. prompt user with HUGE scary warning

  3. make user type in full admin creds (again)

  4. figure out how to iterate all fields that are encrypted and wipe them

We might not even do this, but opening ticket so it isn’t lost over time.
