Description

I have this question and couldn't find the answer in the main page or elsewhere. I can see we can query the default location for storing the credentials but didn't find a way to set that location:
```
python -c "import keyring.util.platform_; print(keyring.util.platform_.config_root())"
```

I'm after a way to store this elsewhere and change the default location.

Research direction

Start by reviewing keyring.util.platform_.config_root() and the configuration documentation to determine how the default credential location is selected. Define how an alternate or shared location should be configured, including platform-specific behavior, then document or test the supported approach.
