Docs: secure secret storage backends explained #43

Description

@sorinipate

Document how the three secret backends are selected and what they guarantee:

  • macOS Keychain (security)
  • Linux Secret Service (secret-tool)
  • OpenSSL AES-256-CBC + PBKDF2 vault fallback

Cover backend selection order, the doctor output, and the guarantees (no plaintext on disk, no argv exposure, no child-process env).
