I added Secrets API support (search only, no create or delete) and
`auth-source-user-or-password' compatibility, plus I rebased the
branch.  I think the Secrets API should use the :max parameter if
possible so we don't get too many results at the top level.  Also it
seems quite slow to get the results one by one so maybe we can optimize
`secrets-search-items'.  Finally, Google Chrome stores passwords in
there but with a different scheme.  I wonder if it's useful to add
specific support for mapping those to the auth-source tokens (host,
protocol, user) or if I should put that special code in url.el only.

The `auth-source-user-or-password' wrapper tries to create an entry
currently, which is not OK.  So it's not ready for use.  When I think
it's OK, I'll update the manual and merge the branch back into the
master branch.
