Slot 1 Protection Without Overwrite #62

Currently, the Configuration Protection field of the GUI doesn't make it clear whether you can add configuration protection without overwriting the contents of the slot. Regardless of whether one can or can't, the UI should make this clearer than it does.

For example, if I want to ensure that the factory settings in Slot 1 aren't overwritten, the UI doesn't provide a dedicated button to apply Configuration Protection. The implication is that clicking Write Configuration will clobber the factory settings, resulting in a complete overwrite of the slot and requiring the user to upload a new key to the YubiCloud.

If Configuration Protection can be enabled safely without clobbering the slot, the UI should make that more obvious, perhaps by offering a dedicated button to apply just that field. If it can't be enabled safely, then the UI should probably change the "Write Configuration" button to Overwrite Configuration instead to make that explicit.
