[PATCH 2/2] 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.
