credential: clear expired c->credential, unify secret clearing

When a struct credential expires, credential_fill() clears c->password
so that clients don't try to use it later. However, a struct cred that
uses an alternate authtype won't have a password, but might have a
credential stored in c->credential.

This is a problem, for example, when an OAuth2 bearer token is used. In
the system I'm using, the OAuth2 configuration generates and caches a
bearer token that is valid for an hour. After the token expires, git
needs to call back into the credential helper to use a stored refresh
token to get a new bearer token. But if c->credential is still non-NULL,
git will instead try to use the expired token and fail with an error:

 fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://<oauth2-enabled-server>/repository'

And on the server:

 [auth_openidc:error] [client <ip>:34012] oidc_proto_validate_exp: "exp" validation failure (1717522989): JWT expired 224 seconds ago

Fix this by clearing both c->password and c->credential for an expired
struct credential. While we're at it, use credential_clear_secrets()
wherever both c->password and c->credential are being cleared.

Update comments in credential.h to mention the new struct fields.
