Secret editor on the CLI

[robert-cronin]

This issue is based on #30 (comment)
Basically we want to be able to do something like

pk secrets ed vault1:secret1

and have it open in the default editor.

Here is how you do it in shell:

tmpfile=$(mktemp /tmp/abc.XXXXXX)
exec {fd}<> "$tmpfile"
rm -f "$tmpfile"
vim "/proc/self/fd/$fd"
cat <&${fd}

we just need to figure out how to have it triggered in JavaScript

Here you would use `$EDITOR` as the default editor. If it is not defined we may just error out.

Oh this is easy. Create a temporary file, open a fd to it, delete it the file on fs, write the secret contents to file, then open an editor the fd (which is read/write). Note that the editor may be making a copy so we can't guarantee that they are editing the temporary file. But when saved you can then take that fd and seek to beginning and then save to the secret. However this is not that important yet so we can put this at lower priority.
