Merge branch 'cb/credential-store-ignore-bogus-lines'
With the recent tightening of the code that is used to parse
various parts of a URL for use in the credential subsystem, a
hand-edited credential-store file causes the credential helper to

behaviour to just ignore and keep using well-formed lines instead.
* cb/credential-store-ignore-bogus-lines:
credential-store: ignore bogus lines from store file
credential-store: document the file format a bit more
