ask-password: when querying for a password, try to read from credential store first
This adds generic support for the SetCredential=/LoadCredential= logic to our password querying infrastructure: if a password is requested by a program that has a credential store configured via $CREDENTIALS_DIRECTORY we'll look in it for a password. The "systemd-ask-password" tool is updated with an option to specify the credential to look for.
