SRU Request:

Impact:

Vinagre immediately segfaults when attempting to connect to a vnc
session with a password. This prevents it from being used to access
remote desktops using desktop sharing. This is caused by libsecret
improperly handling NULL usernames.

The only change between libsecret 0.10 and 0.11 is the fix for this
issue. Hence, this SRU requests updates libsecret to 0.11.

[Test case]

1- Find a vnc server with a password
2- Attempt to connect with vinagre
3- Get password prompt instead of segfault

[Regression Potential]

libsecret now correctly returns an error when it is being used with NULL
data, instead of crashing. Impact should be minimal.
