quak files COLLECTION fetches that collection's files alone (closes #217)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s

`quak files COLLECTION` used to wait for a full refresh, which on an
empty cache fetched the files of every collection before it listed one.
It now reads the collection list, then calls the new
`Library.refreshCollection()`, which brings that one collection up to
date in the store as a refresh would, and saves it. It sends no request
for the files when the stored copy is current. It leaves the refresh
cursor alone, so the next refresh still fetches every other collection
that changed. `refreshOnce` and `refreshCollection` share the commit
step. `quak files` with no argument still waits for a refresh.

`await lib.refreshCollection(collection)` brings one collection up to date in
the cache, given its `Collection` from `freshCollections()`. It does for that
collection what a refresh does for a changed one, and fetches no other
collection's files. It sends no request when the cache's copy has the same
`updationTime`. Otherwise it fetches the collection's files changed since that
copy, or all of them when there is none, then stores and saves them. The refresh
cursor stays where it was, so the next refresh still fetches the files of every
other collection that changed. `quak files` with a collection ID uses it.
An album or file in the server's answer that quak cannot decrypt, or whose
metadata is not JSON, does not fail the refresh. The refresh leaves it out, an
album with all its files, and drops any older copy the cache held, so reads
