Migrate from libgnome-keyring to libsecret

Guidelines

Description of the goal.

Migrate modules that use libgnome-keyring to use libsecret instead. This helps us migrate away from libdbus to gdbus and fixes a bunch of threading issues. libsecret is more maintainable and has a cleaner API. libsecret talks to the same gnome-keyring-daemon as libgnome-keyring, and existing secrets in existing keyrings continue to be available. There is no need for a flag day; modules using libgnome-keyring can coexist with others that have already been migrated to libsecret.

Status of this goal

Tip: If you choose to work on a module, create the bug report on the GNOME bugzilla for the relevant module, and make it block bug 679893. This way people will know someone already works on it, and won't duplicate the work you're doing.
