Andy Dixon 5aa60d7bc7 Add vault locking and a cross-platform build script
Commands that change the vault hold an exclusive lock on DIR/.lock and
readers hold a shared one, taken after the passphrase prompt. A blocked
process says it is waiting. Unix uses fcntl locks and Windows uses
LockFileEx, both released by the OS if the process dies. Plan 9 and
WebAssembly fall back to an exclusive lock file.

build.sh cross-compiles static binaries for every Go target that builds
without cgo (43 today, armv6 and armv7 for 32-bit ARM Linux) and writes
SHA256SUMS.
