network: Use monospace font for wi-fi hotspot password

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785413

Test Case

Beware that turning on Wi-Fi hotspot will disconnect you from Wi-Fi.

  1. Open Settings > Wi-Fi.
  2. Click the ☰ hamburger menu and select Turn On Wi-Fi Hotspot…
  3. In a terminal run this command: nmcli connection modify Hotspot 802-11-wireless-security.key-mgmt wpa-psk 802-11-wireless-security.psk 1IlO05SS
  4. Close Settings and reopen.

Discussion

I believe the password is generated randomly. The instructions above resets the password to a troublesome password.

The bugzilla bug was originally closed because it sounded like the bug was specific to the Ubuntu font but I think that was a miscommunication. See the below screenshots. The Cantarell font used is the latest 0.100 version. OS is Ubuntu 18.04 Alpha with gnome-control-center 3.27.90.

I have rebased Will's patch against master.
