The libsecret credential helper reads the newline-delimited
protocol stream one line at a time by repeatedly calling fgets() into a
fixed-size buffer, and is thus affected by the vulnerability described
in the previous commit.
To mitigate this attack, avoid using a fixed-size buffer, and instead
rely on getline() to allocate a buffer as large as necessary to fit the
entire content of the line, preventing any protocol injection.
In most parts of Git we don't assume that every platform has getline().
But libsecret is primarily used on Linux, where we do already assume it
(using a knob in config.mak.uname). POSIX also added getline() in 2008,
so we'd expect other recent Unix-like operating systems to have it
(e.g., FreeBSD also does).
Note that the buffer was already allocated on the heap in this case, but
we'll swap `g_free()` for `free()`, since it will now be allocated by
the system `getline()`, rather than glib's `g_malloc()`.

The libsecret credential helper does not mark its build artifact as
ignored, so running "make" results in a dirty working tree.
Mark the "git-credential-libsecret" binary as ignored to avoid the above.

In C it isn't required to specify that all members of a struct are
zero'd out to 0, NULL or '\0', just providing a "{ 0 }" will
accomplish that.
Let's also change code that provided N zero'd fields to just
provide one, and change e.g. "{ NULL }" to "{ 0 }" for
consistency. I.e. even if the first member is a pointer let's use "0"
instead of "NULL". The point of using "0" consistently is to pick one,
and to not have the reader wonder why we're not using the same pattern
everywhere.

The mailing address for the FSF has changed over the years. Rather than
updating the address across all files, refer readers to gnu.org, as the
GNU GPL documentation now suggests for license notices. The mailing
address is retained in the full license files (COPYING and LGPL-2.1).
The old address is still present in t/diff-lib/COPYING. This is
intentional, as the file is used in tests and the contents are not
expected to change.

Credentials exposed by the secret service DBUS interface may be locked.
Setting the SECRET_SEARCH_UNLOCK flag will make the secret service
unlock these secrets, possibly prompting the user for credentials to do
so. Without this flag, the secret is simply not loaded.

This is based on the existing gnome-keyring helper, but instead of
libgnome-keyring (which was specific to GNOME and is deprecated), it
uses libsecret which can support other implementations of XDG Secret
Service API.
Passes t0303-credential-external.sh.
