Refs codership/mysql-wsrep#141: this commit
1. Passes wsrep_sst_auth_value to SST scripts via WSREP_SST_OPT_AUTH envronmental variable, so it never appears on the command line 2. In mysqldump and xtrabackup* SST scripts which rely on MySQL authentication, instead of passing password on the command line, SST script sets MYSQL_PWD environment variable, so that password also never appears on the mysqldump/innobackupex command line.
