1. Set a better displaylabel for secretservice …

   Secretservice entries have a "label". This is intended to be a
   human-readable description. It's actually called "Description" in UIs
   like seahorse, and the listing of existing secrets shows this as a name
   for each one.
   
   The entries stored by the credential helper set this to simply the
   repository URL. This is rather unfriendly, since entries like
   "gitlab.com" and "index.docker.io/v1" show up. Mixed in with
   entries from all other applications, it's hard to figure out what
   application owns each entry.
   
   This commit changes the label used when saving entries to be something
   human-readable (this is the intent of the "label" field, btw). Because
   of the naming scheme, this also results in all entries being shown
   together by default (since UIs tend to sort lexicographically).
   
   New entries will now be stores as:
   
     Docker credentials for $REGISTRY_URL
   
   Note that items stored by the secret service have multiple fields inside
   of them. One of those fields is called "label", and is used by the
   helper to filter items from the secret service. This "label" field is
   entirely unrelated to the items' label. The naming is most unfortunate.
