gpg: Remove tofu database format "split".
* g10/options.h (struct opt): Remove field tofu_db_format. * g10/gpg.h (server_control_s): Add fields tofu.batch_update_ref and tofu.batch_update_started. * g10/gpg.c (parse_tofu_db_format): Remove. (main): Make option --tofu-db-format obsolete. * g10/tofu.c: Major rework. Remove the pretty complicated and slower split format and with that all the caching. Use the dbs struct directly. Move global vars for batch update into CTRL. Change calling conventions of some function to take CTRL or DBS pointers instead of the former low-level database pointer. -- The split database format might have been nice for use with Unison but it bypasses the concept of a relational database by doing parts of this itself and also risking deadlocks. Working with the Tofu database for debugging or experiments is also not possible with parts of the database logic implemented in gpg. The Tofu support is quite new and we can assume that it is not in real use now. Thus we better remove that now so that we do not need to maintain it for all future.

-The format for the TOFU DB.

-The split file format splits the data across many DBs under the
-@code{tofu.d} directory (one per email address and one per key). This
-makes it easier to automatically synchronize the data using a tool
-such as Unison (@url{https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/}),
-since the individual files change rarely.
-
-The flat file format keeps all of the data in the single file
-@code{tofu.db}. This format results in better performance.
-
-If set to auto (which is the default), GnuPG will first check for the
-existence of @code{tofu.d} and @code{tofu.db}. If one of these
-exists, the corresponding format is used. If neither or both of these
-exist, then GnuPG defaults to the @code{split} format. In the latter
-case, a warning is emitted.
