Reference secret data outside of fill field actions

[lazyguru]

Currently you can only reference credentials (secret data) in fill field actions. Instead, it should be possible to access this data from magentoCLI calls as well

Preconditions

1. Create a credentials file and add values to it

Steps to reproduce

1. In a block (either in a test or in a suite) add <magentoCLI command="config:set some/secret/password {{_CREDS.mySecretPassword}}" stepKey="SetSecretPassword"/>
2. Attempt to generate the suite/test bin/mftf generate:suite MySuite

Expected result

1. Tests should be generated

Actual result

1. Error message:

In ActionMergeUtil.php line 112:

  You cannot reference secret data outside of fill field actions


generate:suite [-r|--remove] [--] <suites> (<suites>)...
