Changes to help with netpgp key generation and interoperability:

+ use plain SHA1 for session key s2k negotiation
+ don't warn on some conditions when inflating (reading a compressed file)
since the conditions don't hold for partial block lengths
+ prompt for a passphrase when generating a new key - used in the upcoming
secret-sharing functionality for netpgp

Add the ability to perform Elgamal encryption to netpgp. Some of this
code is inspired by the (BSD-licensed) Elgamal crypto code in
Postgresql by Marko Kreen, but netpgp uses BIGNUM numbers instead of
MPIs, and its keys have a completely different structure, so much has
changed.

signing/encryption and decryption/verification

PR 42922 applies - need to define _XOPEN_SOURCE and _BSD_SOURCE for
newer linux platforms with glibc 2.10.1. solved a bit differently, by
implementing strdup(3) and strcasecmp(3) independently, and using regexps
to avoid calling strptime(3).

Don't complain if $HOME/.gnupg does not exist (and using --homedir).

Don't require a userid to be set in the gpg.conf file - it can be set
on the command line when it's needed (for signing and encryption, the
other operations in netpgp(1) will take the userid from the
signed/encrypted file).

Add tests for the lack of a default userid in the config file.
