KeychainCredential interface
A JavaScript object implementing the KeychainCredential interface represents an entry in the application’s Keychain. These store account information and secrets such as passwords, used to configure the platform and plugins.
The "pKeychainRead" privilege is required to use the keychain.

Use O.keychain.credential() to load a credential by ID or name.
Use O.keychain.query() to discover what credentials are available in the keychain.

function encode(encoding)
Encode a credential for a specific purpose, throwing an exception if it is not possible.
The "pKeychainReadSecret" privilege is required to use encode().
Passing in encoding as "http-authorization" will return the credential encoded for an HTTP Authorization header, including the authentication scheme such as Basic.
