Refuse a backup destination an unplugged volume left empty (closes #239)

Every backup writes vaultik-destination.txt at the destination root. While the local index holds snapshots, a destination without it is not present: snapshot create refuses before writing, prune and snapshot purge fail, and snapshot list and snapshot remove act as for a destination that cannot be listed. snapshot create checks before it drops incomplete snapshots, snapshot remove before it looks on the destination. remote nuke deletes the marker last. The file:// backend never creates its destination directory; that protects a directory on a removable volume, not a mount point. Tests back up into directories that exist; fixtures for a written destination carry the marker. Judgement call: the marker is rewritten on every backup. Deviation: for the complexity limit, two blocks moved, unchanged, into snapshotNamesToCreate and confirmRemoveSnapshot. Model: opus-5-5

## Marker File (`vaultik-destination.txt`)
|
||||
|
||||
Every backup writes this file at the root before it uploads anything. It holds one fixed line of plain text and names no host, path or time. While the local index holds snapshots, a destination without it is treated as not present: `snapshot create` refuses to write to it, and `prune`, `snapshot purge`, `snapshot remove` and `snapshot list` behave as for a destination that cannot be listed. An unplugged volume leaves an empty directory at its mount point, and without the marker that directory would read as a destination whose snapshots are all gone. `remote nuke` deletes the marker last.
