GHSA-hcmv-jmqh-fjgm: ops leaking secrets if `subprocess.CalledProcessError` happens with a `secret-*` CLI command

### Summary The issue here is that we pass the secret content as one of the args via CLI. This issue may affect any of our charms that are using: Juju (>=3.0), Juju secrets and not correctly capturing and processing `subprocess.CalledProcessError`. There are two points that may log this command, in different files: First, if there is an error during a secret handling, there will be a `subprocess.CalledProcessError`, which will contain the CLI comand + all its args. This is going to be logged in any logging level. This exception, if not caught by the charm, will bubble up to the `/var/log/juju/` logs and syslog journal. Now, on Ubuntu 22.04, these logs are protected with: ``` $ juju ssh -m controller 0 -- ls -la /var/log/juju/ total 224 drwxr-xr-x 2 syslog adm 4096 Jul 14 10:59 . drwxrwxr-x 9 root syslog 4096 Jul 14 10:58 .. -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 20124 Jul 14 11:10 audit.log -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 110432 Jul 14 11:10 logsink.log -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 80783 Ju...
