A cross-vault secret mv that cannot remove the source fails (closes #159)

When `secret mv` copied a secret into another vault but could not remove
the source, it printed a warning and the usual "Moved" line and exited 0,
so a script could not tell that the secret was now in both vaults. It now
prints no "Moved" line and fails with an error saying that the copy holds
all versions and the source remains.

The test is in package cli and calls moveSecret, because the state
directory lock refuses the wrapped filesystem that makes the removal fail.

Judgement call: if the source is moved aside but the temporary directory
holding it cannot then be deleted, the error still says the source remains.

Model: opus-5-5

 Lists all versions of a secret showing creation time, status, and validity
 period.
 
+`STATUS` is `current` for the secret's current version, `expired` for another
+version whose `NOT_AFTER` has passed, and `inactive` for any other version.
+Adding a version sets `NOT_AFTER` on the version that was current;
+`secret version promote` sets no times. A version that is not current therefore
+shows `inactive` when no version was added while it was current.

 #### `secret version promote <secret-name> <version>`
 
 Promotes a specific version to current by rewriting the secret's `current` file
