The name won't make much sense to the ordinary user who don't know about
the API.

Repeating from another message, this variable should be something like
"auth-source-pass-old-search" (or even "...-obsolete-search").

This should be non-nil by default, since it fixes a number of bugs.  We
don't want to deprive users from these fixes, do we?

know about the API.

The value `test' is not documented.  Is it used in tests?  If it is, I
think an internal variable would be better.

The file name contains host, user and port, so parsing contents is not
needed at all.

Just saw the first use of "type-of".  Doesn't "(integerp port)" work?
