Locations: edit connection settings without losing the history

A changed password or host name could only be handled by adding a new
location, which starts an empty repository and, with a retention lock at
the provider, keeps the old one billed. Edit now changes a location in
place (web interface and occ backup:target:edit). The settings are only
saved when they lead to the same repository; a failed connection and a
missing repository give separate errors, and the folder is not created
while checking. Stored passwords are never sent to the browser: an empty
password field keeps the stored value.

## [Unreleased]
### Added
- Edit a backup location (web interface and `occ backup:target:edit`): change the password, host,
folder, connection type or name without losing its history. Before this the only option was a
new location, which starts an empty repository and, with a retention lock at the provider,
keeps paying for the old one. The new settings are only saved when they lead to the same
repository; stored passwords are never sent to the browser, and an empty password field keeps
the stored one. Administrators are notified of the change.
### Changed
- App store listing: the homepage link points to the GitHub repository instead of back to the
app store page itself.
