Make another unlocker current when the current one is removed (closes #137)
Removing the vault's current unlocker left current-unlocker naming it,
so every command that opened the vault failed although another
unlocker remained, and the error pointed at the mnemonic.
RemoveUnlocker now first makes current the first other unlocker that
`secret unlocker select` accepts, in the order `secret unlocker list`
shows, and returns its ID, which `secret unlocker remove` prints; with
none, current-unlocker is removed too. When current-unlocker names an
unlocker that does not exist and the vault has another that select
accepts, the error wraps ErrUnlockerNotFound and says to run
`secret unlocker select`, without the mnemonic advice.

Unverified: no test covers that advice for a vault other than the
current one, which gets `secret vault select` first.

// Unlock Failure Tests
//
// When a vault cannot be opened through its current unlocker, because a
// file the unlocker needs is missing or the passphrase is wrong, the error
// keeps its cause and ends by saying that the mnemonic still opens that
// vault, but only for a vault that the mnemonic does open, and not when the
// passphrase could not be read at all. When the current unlocker does not
// exist and the vault has another that `secret unlocker select` accepts, the
// error says to select one instead.
// When a secret's current file is missing, the error says how to make a
// version current again. Each test that pins such advice also follows it.
