contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: use secure memory for reading passwords

drafnel · gitster · commit da2727f23c68 · 2013-10-16T09:35:32.000-07:00
gnome-keyring provides functions to allocate non-pageable memory (if
possible).  Let's use them to allocate memory that may be used to hold
secure data read from the keyring.
