sudo: change password prompt

Browse Source 
The current sudo password prompt is "Password: ", while distros like
e.g. Ubuntu and Arch Linux use "[sudo] password for %p: ", where "%p"
expands to the username of the user running sudo.

Adopt the prompt from other distros because it makes it less confusing
when running commands with sudo that themselves ask for a password.
