Liquibase 4.21 breaks prompting for password during update

Description

Since 3.0.6, Liquibase supports prompting for arguments, e.g. passwords, when specifying the magic value "PROMPT". We use this to query the password of the production database before installation. This does not work anymore with 4.21, liquibase update does not prompt for the password and instead fails to connect with "invalid username or password".

liquibase status still works as expected. Browsing through the recent changes, I assume this is caused by the refactoring around the command framework.

Steps To Reproduce

liquibase --url=somedatabase --username=test --password=PROMPT update

This should prompt for user input, but it doesn't.

Expected/Desired Behavior

Liquibase should prompt for user input, as it did before 4.21.

That probably got lost when we introduced the UIService with 4.0? Originally it didn't have a way to prompt since we generally try to avoid that.

Since then, we've added that into the UIService so the functionality could be added back.

@nvoxland My bad, I should have made more clear that this used to work up until version 4.20. It's a recent regression.
