auth-source: Fix wrong-type-argument when searching secret services
`auth-source-search' can be called with an integer port number, while the backend implementation doesn't allow non-string attributes. * doc/misc/auth.texi (Secret Service API): Attribute values are stringified. * lisp/auth-source.el (auth-source-secrets-search): Ensure attributes are string. (Bug#55199)
