Remove secret vault import (closes #139)
check / check (push) Waiting to run

`secret vault import` took only a vault without a long-term key, and
`secret init` and `secret vault create` give every vault one, so it
always failed. A mnemonic enters through those two commands, so the
command goes, with its tests and its README entry. The help and the
note of `secret generate mnemonic` named `secret import`, which imports
a file as a secret; they now name `secret init` and
`secret vault create`.

`secret vault import` now prints the help of `secret vault` and exits
0, as cobra does for any subcommand of `secret vault` it does not know.

Judgement call: TestWorkflowMismatch in internal/vault, which replayed
the import step by step, is deleted.
