Default the manifest to index.mf and keep it out of its own listing (closes #100)
check / check (push) Failing after 2s

mfer gen now writes index.mf instead of .index.mf, the name fetch
requests and the README calls the standard filename. Given a
directory, check, freshen, list and export look only for index.mf;
.index.mf is no longer recognized. Because index.mf is not hidden, the
scanner now leaves the output file out of the listing by its path: gen
--force over an existing manifest no longer lists the old one, while a
file named index.mf in a subdirectory is still listed.
