fix(app): a default token that is gone when Save is pressed is not taken up, and the saved default is not given up for it

Last finding of the review of the default token per forge (#212).

Taking up a token the vault still holds for another server removes the
default that is saved. Whether the vault holds that token was asked when the
address was typed. Removed elsewhere before Save (another window, Windows'
Credential Manager), the saved default was still removed, which left no
default token at all under the new address.

The token is looked for again when Save is pressed. Without it nothing is
changed: the address stays, the saved token stays, and the log says so.
