Leave no partial unlocker directory when adding an unlocker fails (closes #48)
check / check (push) Waiting to run

CreatePGPUnlocker looked up the GPG key's fingerprint, and the keychain
unlocker got the long-term key, only after writing part of the unlocker,
so a failure there left a directory with no metadata. Both now do every
step that can fail before writing anything. `secret unlocker add pgp`
looks the fingerprint up once, for its duplicate check, and passes it to
CreatePGPUnlocker to record. All four unlocker types write their files
through the new secret.WriteDir, which builds a new directory in a
temporary directory, renames it into place when complete and removes it
on a failure. A directory that already exists, as when an unlocker
replaces one of the same name, is written in place and never removed.

# Completed Steps
- 2026-10-04: A failed unlocker add no longer leaves a partial unlocker
directory (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/secret/issues/48).
`secret unlocker add pgp` resolves the GPG key's fingerprint once, for
its duplicate check, and passes it to `CreatePGPUnlocker` to record.
`CreatePGPUnlocker` and `CreateKeychainUnlocker` get the long-term key
and encrypt everything before writing anything. All four unlocker
types write their files through `secret.WriteDir`: a new unlocker is
built in a temporary directory, renamed into place when complete and
removed on a failure. One added under the directory name of an
existing unlocker is still written into that directory in place
(https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/secret/issues/71).
