Update encryption example to distinguish input

Browse Source 
The example for how to encrypt a gauth.csv file using openssl implicitly assumes
the input and output are different files. But if you run that command while already
in the output directory, they will be the same path, and it appears openssl may
clobber the output.

To avert this, explicitly indicate in the example that the input is in the home
directory, and the output is elsewhere. The actual paths do not matter, this
is just to keep the example safe.

`gauth` supports password-based encryption of `gauth.csv`. To encrypt, use:
$ openssl enc -aes-128-cbc -md sha256 -in gauth.csv -out ~/.config/gauth.csv
$ openssl enc -aes-128-cbc -md sha256 -in ~/gauth.csv -out ~/.config/gauth.csv
