Subject: [PATCH] Connectors: Respect custom `setting_name` in connector
 registration.

`WP_Connector_Registry::register()` always auto-generates the `setting_name`
for connectors with `api_key` authentication, ignoring any caller-provided
value. This prevents connectors from using existing WordPress options as their
API key storage.
This change checks for a non-empty `setting_name` in the provided args before
falling back to the auto-generated name.

Props jorgefilipecosta, gziolo.
Fixes #64957.
