webapp gpg key generation
Now the webapp can generate a gpg key that is dedicated for use by git-annex. Since the key is single use, much of the complexity of generating gpg keys is avoided. Note that the key has no password, because gpg-agent is not available everywhere the assistant is installed. This is not a big security problem because the key is going to live on the same disk as the git annex repository, so an attacker with access to it can look directly in the repository to see the same files that get stored in the encrypted repository on the removable drive. There is no provision yet for backing up keys. This commit sponsored by Robert Beaty.
