   The #53973 introduced a change in the model of handling of the
   sensitive connection data in the Airlfow UI. Previoiusly our agreed
   model included capability of reading sensitive data bu the users who
   have Connection Configuraiton role. However in 3.0.4 we changeed the
   model so that those users have "write-only" access - they can write
   the sensitive data, but they cannot read the data via API or the UI
   once it is written. WHile not a security vulnerability on it's own,
   it's a security improvement that allows to mitigate some scenarios,
   especially when connection editing user credentials are stolen.
   
   This PR clarifies the model and properly communicates it to the users
   clearly indicating the difference implemented in 3.0.4 and the model
   of our security and clearly explaining that before 3.0.4 that was a
   delibearate choice of the model that the connection editing users
   had access to the sensitive data.
