Consider not using the string "securefs" in metafiles #166

I don't like tipping off anyone viewing my files that I'm using securefs. I'm sure it's still possible they could figure it out, but I'd rather not have it in plaintext.

It would be even better if argon2 dose not appear in the json file.

You can rename the .securefs.json file however you like. You can even move it to another location. During mounting, specify the whole path of the file by --config option.

Knowing argon2 gives the attack little advantage. If anything, deterrence.
