See issue keepassxreboot#3271 for a motivation of this feature. This patch adds an additional text input to the advanced view of the password generator. All characters of this input field (if not empty) will be added as another group to the password generator. The characters from the excluded field have precedence over the characters from this new field, meaning any character added to both fields will *not* appear in any generated password. As the characters from this new field will be added as their own group to the password generator, checking the 'Include characters from every group' checkbox will force at least character to be chosen from the new input field. The `PasswordGenerator` class has also been changed so that the `isValid` method returns `true` if only characters from the new input field would be used. There is a new, simple test that covers the new feature. While the test only uses ASCII characters, any Unicode characters can be used with the new feature.

Description and Context
See issue #3271 for a motivation of this feature.
This patch adds an additional text input to the advanced view of the password
generator. All characters of this input field (if not empty) will be added as
another group to the password generator. The characters from the excluded field
have precedence over the characters from this new field, meaning any character
added to both fields will not appear in any generated password. As the
characters from this new field will be added as their own group to the password
generator, checking the 'Pick characters from every group' checkbox will
force at least character to be chosen from the new input field.
The
PasswordGeneratorclass has also been changed so that theisValidmethodreturns
trueif only characters from the new input field would be used.An additional nicety of the feature is that one can now use arbitrary Unicode characters in their passwords, as desired.
I am open to any suggestions for improvements, especially for the GUI part.
Fixes #3271

Testing strategy
I have added a simple test to the password generator that tests the new
m_additionalmember. The test currently only uses ASCII characters, as I was unsure if I could use Unicode characters in the source.Checklist:
-DWITH_ASAN=ON. [REQUIRED]I don't know if this change requires additional changes to the documentation, because I don't know the documentation. If someone could point me to the right files I would be happy to make the changes. I also didn't add any translations for the new UI label.
