I'm in the process of adding Playmouth (the boot splash screen) to the official repositories, which means initcpio hooks will not able to write directly to the screen on systems where Plymouth is enabled. The encrypt hook should check if Plymouth is available and running, and send a request to it to ask the password from the user.

Please apply the attached patch which implements this support.

The implementation is based on the similar feature in Dracut:
https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/blob/08b63a25296d689186c6343f96e764bf893367cb/modules.d/90crypt/crypt-lib.sh#L108-L113
   cryptsetup-plymouth.patch (1.4 KiB)
