ecryptfs-setup-private should protect users from overwriting an existing setup

[Dustin Kirkland ]

Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

ecryptfs-setup-private will generate a new ~/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase and ~/.ecryptfs/Private.sig.

It will back up any previous copies of these two files, for good measure, such that an advance user could recover the key.

However, when we detect a pre-existing wrapped-passphrase or Private.sig file, we should exit out with an informative error.

This exit condition should be bypass-able by a --force option.
