Added annex.gnupg-decrypt-options and remote.<name>.annex-gnupg-decrypt-options, which are passed to gpg when it's decrypting data.

The naming is unofrtunately not consistent, but the gnupg-options
were only used for encrypting, and it's too late to change that.

It would be nice to have a third setting that is always passed to gnupg,
but ~/.gnupg/options can be used to specify such global options when really
needed.

+annex.gnupg-options is only used when encrypting content, not when
+decrypting. And it has to decrypt the shared encryption key first,
+so that's why the error shows it was running gpg with --decrypt.
+
+Probable, even if you were able to make it always run gpg with
+--no-tty, it wouldn't help, because gpg needs to prompt for a passphrase.
+
+There should be a way to get gnupg to use gpg-agent, which would let it
+prompt for your password with a dialog box, rather than trying to prompt on
+the terminal. That would work better with the webapp.
+
+I do think there ought to be a config setting that allows passing options
+to gpg when it's decrypting things, and so I'll add something.
