pycredentials: Add get_name() for a credentials cache


This one had an incorrect commit message (set_ccache_name). Also the pointers 
where not initialized with NULL. We agreed to always init them with NULL and 
especially out pointers should be.


pycredentials: Add set_named_ccache()

Pointers not initialized
memory leak on error path of cli_credentials_set_ccache
exceeded 80 cols ...


I'm would push that branch to autobuid if you're fine with it ...
