Post & Page Visibility: "Password Protected" option, add a warning for media files #63197

Description

What

Quoting https://wordpress.com/support/post-and-page-visibility/#additional-notes:

When an image or media file is added to the content of a password protected page or post, the file can still be indexed by search engines. It can also be directly accessed by visitors without a password.

Why

This often trips users who think media files will also be protected, so may share sensitive files, and be badly surprised when noticing unusual access to those media files.

How

Add a warning message in the editor, like:

⚠️ Media files will still be accessible, see more info.
