[JENKINS-60693] Allow editing credential id

Currently there appears to be no way to change the id of a credential once it has been created. The user instead is required to manually create a new secret with the same contents. This is very annoying, especially because it requires tracking down the actual credentials themselves again. Instead, the credential id should be a mutable property of a credential. It would also be acceptable if there were simply an option to clone a credential with a new id.
