Unknown subcommands of vault, unlocker, version and generate fail (closes #183)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s

Given a subcommand they do not have, `secret vault`, `secret unlocker`,
`secret version` and `secret generate` printed their help and exited 0,
so a mistyped command looked like a successful one. Each now exits 1
with `unknown command "<name>" for "secret <parent>"`, and with no
arguments still prints its help.

Cobra checks a command's Args only when it has a RunE, so each parent
gets `Args: cobra.NoArgs` and a RunE that prints its help. Args alone
changes nothing.

Judgement call: their help now shows a `secret <parent> [flags]` usage
line, which cobra adds for any command that runs.
Judgement call: `secret vault help` now fails as an unknown subcommand;
`secret help vault` and `secret vault --help` still work.
