Revisit GVfs goals for iteration 1

As explained by segfault on #15218-note_8:

  • supporting via GVfs the simplest possible kind of VeraCrypt volumes all kinds of volumes except ones using keyfiles is easy (or even done)
  • supporting via GVfs all other kinds of VeraCrypt unlocking using keyfiles is much more expensive than expected

One option would be to stop here and require users to use GNOME Disks to unlock non-trivial VeraCrypt devices.
