This a problem for Tramp. It's upstream version is supposed to support
also older Emacsen, which do not know the changed auth-source.el.

We would need a compatibility function (preferred in tramp-compat.el),
which uses the new API if available, and falls back to the old API otherwise.

I also believe, that tramp-imap.el shall not use auth-source-*
directly. It might be better to use tramp-enter-password (or
tramp-read-passwd). Maybe we could clean it up.
