Matches crypto/secret_common.c:qcrypto_secret_class_init(), and I concur
with the deprecation.

Matches crypto/secret.c:qcrypto_secret_class_init() (ugh, we really do
reuse the same static function name in two different files, but not your
fault)

What is stopping us from naming this 'secret-keyring'?

May be impacted if we rename to secret-keyring (in fact, if we rename,
the new name wouldn't even need the deprecated field), but that may be
trickier to coordinate.  So with regards to just the mechanical conversion,
