quak collections reads the collection list alone (closes #210)

On an empty cache the read commands opened their library with a refresh
that fetched and decrypted the files of every collection in turn,
printing nothing and storing nothing until it had them all, so `quak
collections` seemed to hang on a large account. The new
`lib.freshCollections()` is the fresh read of the collection list alone:
one request, and nothing stored, so a later refresh still fetches every
collection's files. The read commands open their library with the new
`refreshOnOpen: false` and make only the refresh they ask for. A refresh
sends a "progress" event after each collection whose files it fetched;
the commands that wait on one print it on stderr, except with `--json`.
