The previous implementation was both needlessly complicated, and also had a
misbehaviour.

When writing new credentials to an already existing file, the file would
not get correctly truncated. This caused some previous data to remain if
the new data to be written was shorter than the current file contents.

It would then cause gmvault to fail with the following error upon the
next invocation:

It would be nice if the master branch was kept relatively up to date, since it is what you ask people to fork when contributing. Back when I made this pull request in March, HEAD of master was at a759623, but since then, a lot of fairly old commits were merged in, among them commits from August 2015 (72fd16f, 72fd16f, 09f9834) that fixed the issue this pull request originally aimed to fix.

Anyway, I've rewritten this change against master again. While the current code isn't broken, the proposed change would make the code clearer and easier to maintain.
