Commit b450414 added logic for reading password from management
when not in file or inline, but it was made conditional on
`response_from_stdin` which is always true! Fix by explicitly
checking for `password_from_stdin`.

I have verified the original problem in GH #1021 (as soon as
--management-query-passwords is active, username+password passed in via
file or inline is ignored and the mgmt interface is queried instead
- which can actually be tested from t_client.rc, so I have proper
regression tests for this now).

I have *also* tested (this time) that with the patch, all the "credentials
on file" functionality still works, and also that querying from the
management interface *also* still works.  We should really stop breaking
these...

Your patch has been applied to the master and release/2.7 branch.
