Make config set create a list for an index under a missing key (closes #308)
check / check (push) Successful in 15m37s

`config set age_recipients.0 age1...` on a file without `age_recipients`
wrote a map keyed `0`, after which no command could load the config. A
missing key is now created as a list when the next path element is a
number.

`config set` checks its result with the config loader before writing and
refuses a failure the change brings in: a config that loaded must still
load, and one still being filled in (failing validation until complete)
must still decode into the config type. The new `config.Parse`, split out
of `config.Load`, decodes config data, filling in `${...}` references,
without validating.

Rule suppressed: gosec G304 where `config.Load` and the new tests read a
file.

**`config set`**: Set a scalar config value by dotted YAML path

formatting in the file are preserved. Missing keys along the path are
created: as a list when the next path element is a number (so
`vaultik config set age_recipients.0 age1...` works on a file without
`age_recipients`), otherwise as a map. If the config loads, a change
after which it would not, such as `vaultik config set compression_level 99`,
is refused and the file is left unchanged. A config that does not load
yet, such as the one `config init` writes before `storage_url` is set,
can be filled in one setting at a time: only a change that gives a
setting the wrong type, such as a single value where a list belongs or a
word where a number belongs, is refused.
**`snapshot create`**: Perform incremental backup of configured snapshots.
