secret list gives each secret's own creation and last-update times (closes #142)
check / check (push) Waiting to run

secret list and secret list --json gave the time of the listing as every
secret's creation and last-update time, because Secret.LoadMetadata set
both to the current time. It now reads file modification times, so
listing still needs no passphrase: the last update is when the secret's
current file was written, and the creation is when its oldest version's
value.age was written. A move to another vault gives the copied files
the times of the originals.

GetSecretObject no longer loads the times, so secret get keeps its error
for a missing current file; secret list calls LoadMetadata itself.

Judgement call: the creation time comes from value.age, not from the
oldest version's directory, whose time changes when the next add
rewrites that version's metadata.age.
