cmd/fscrypt: improve errors
In checkEncryptable(), check whether the directory is already encrypted before checking whether it's empty. Also improve the error message for when a directory is nonempty. Finally, translate keyring.ErrKeyAddedByOtherUsers and keyring.ErrKeyFilesOpen into errors which include the directory.

# Try to encrypt a nonempty directory
-[ERROR] fscrypt encrypt: MNT/dir: not an empty directory

-Encryption can only be setup on empty directories; files cannot be encrypted
-in-place. Instead, encrypt an empty directory, copy the files into that
-encrypted directory, and securely delete the originals with "shred".
+[ERROR] fscrypt encrypt: Directory "MNT/dir" cannot be
+ encrypted because it is non-empty.
+
+Files cannot be encrypted in-place. Instead, encrypt a new directory, copy the
+files into it, and securely delete the original directory. For example:
+
+ mkdir MNT/dir.new
+ fscrypt encrypt MNT/dir.new
+ cp -a -T MNT/dir MNT/dir.new
+ find MNT/dir -type f -print0 | xargs -0 shred -n1 --remove=unlink
+ rm -rf MNT/dir
+ mv MNT/dir.new MNT/dir
+
+Caution: due to the nature of modern storage devices and filesystems, the
+original data may still be recoverable from disk. It's much better to encrypt
+your files from the start.
