drop kwallet support in favor of org.freedesktop.secrets

While I was investigating the reimplementation of the kwallet module with sd-bus in place of libdbus, I found out that kwallet recently merged support for org.freedesktop.secrets https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kwallet/-/merge_requests/11.

Which is a generic D-Bus interface for storing secrets that is also used by gnome-keyring.

We already support this interface through the libsecret module. Meaning after release and adoption of distribution the kwallet module will be made obsolete.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
