Say why a mnemonic is refused (closes #76)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s

Every way a mnemonic could be invalid was reported as a checksum
failure, including an empty one. It is now refused as empty, as having
a word count other than 12, 15, 18, 21 or 24, as having a word that is
not on the BIP-39 word list, or as failing the checksum. A word not on
the list is named by its position, never by the word itself.
