The problem is that until earlier today, auth-source-netrc-parse just
returned nil if called with no host/user parameters, so I don't know
what the compat check would be.

Perhaps it'd be more convenient if there was a new function like
`auth-source-netrc-parse-all-entries' that tramp.el could check for the
presence of?  Would that help?  (It would just be an alias, probably.)
