feat(mount): make unlock policy optional/explict

This changes the semantics of some arguments related to unlocking and
slightly changes the unlocking logic. Also update help formatting/text.

Instead of defaulting to `UnlockPolicy::Ask`, the argument becomes
optional. That means if it is specified, the user really wants that
specific policy. Similar to how `passphrase_file` also works.

This also extends `UnlockPolicy` to override `isatty` detection.

Fixes: #292
