1. Load libsecret by its SONAME, libsecret-1.so.0 …

   The library name `libsecret-1.so` is only found in `-dev` or `-devel`
   packages on many distros, and it's usually only a symlink. For example,
   this is what I have on Fedora:
   
       /usr/lib64/libsecret-1.so -> libsecret-1.so.0
       /usr/lib64/libsecret-1.so.0 -> libsecret-1.so.0.0.0
       /usr/lib64/libsecret-1.so.0.0.0
   
       $ rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libsecret*
       libsecret-devel-0.21.4-2.fc40.x86_64
       libsecret-0.21.4-2.fc40.x86_64
       libsecret-0.21.4-2.fc40.x86_64
   
   The middle `libsecret-1.so.0` filename matches the actual `SONAME` in
   the library, which you can see with `readelf -d`, and this is what
   programs built directly against this library will use. It's a better
   choice for dynamic loaders too, so devel packages aren't needed.
