Lock the state directory and write vault files atomically (closes #34)
check / check (push) Successful in 50s

Each command that changes the state directory holds one lock: flock(2)
on `lock` in the state directory, dropped by the kernel if the process
dies, or a process-wide mutex on the in-memory test filesystem. It
covers the state directory, not each vault, because `currentvault`,
`vault create` and cross-vault moves span vaults, and a lock file in a
vault would be deleted by `vault remove` under a waiting command.

Files go through `secret.WriteFileAtomic`; versions, new secrets and
cross-vault copies are built in a temporary directory and renamed into
place; removals rename out of the way first. An unlocker added under
an existing unlocker's directory name is still rewritten file by file:
#71.
