Support for collection aliases.
The collection aliases are present under: /org/freedesktop/secrets/aliases/xxxx So the default and network collections would be usable via the object path, in addition to their normal object paths: /org/freedesktop/secrets/aliases/default /org/freedesktop/secrets/aliases/network To manage the aliases, two new methods are added to the Service interface: ReadAlias() and SetAlias(). BTW, These are not properties on Collection because a collection can be have multiple aliases pointing to it.
