fix(apikey): point missing-key hint at interactive 'civo apikey save' - #617

Conversation
The no-API-key error told users to run 'civo apikey save YOUR_API_KEY', which fails with 'too few arguments' because the non-interactive form needs both NAME and APIKEY. Recommend the interactive form instead, which also keeps the key out of shell history, and make the one-argument error explain both valid forms.

Reported by a new user: running any command without an API key prints
Following that advice fails with
There are too few arguments for this command, because the non-interactive form iscivo apikey save NAME APIKEY. Passing the key on the command line also leaves it in shell history.Change
config/config.go: the missing-key hint now recommendscivo apikey savewith no arguments, which prompts for a name and reads the key without echo.cmd/apikey/apikey_save.go: the one-argument error now explains both valid forms (interactive, orNAME APIKEY).Testing
