OK, working version attached.  As we discussed, it does not have a
:rewrite-existing or :create-extra-keys option.

I added two working examples to the docs to demonstrate
`auth-source-creation-defaults' and the two :create modes.  They should
be sufficient to show the usage.

I made deletion happen with a :delete t parameter and implemented it (by
commenting out the line) for the netrc backend.  `auth-source-delete'
just calls `auth-source-search' with :delete overridden to t.  The
deleted entry is returned.  I think all of that is reasonable.

I hope this is the last API iteration.  Sorry for the long discussion; I
wanted to make sure we'd have something usable for everyone.  If we
settle on this, I'll add the search result caching and start on the
Secrets API implementation.  Then I'll do the manual update...

I considered making a Git branch for this work but was too lazy.  Sorry
for the constant inconvenience of looking at attachments.

Ted
