(main): Add option --keystring.

* src/gpgme-json.c (get_keys): Simplify.
(op_encrypt): Modify to make use of the extended encrypt function.

This new feature can be used to avoid the need for a key lookup and
thus several extra calls to the backend.

Note that run-test uses a semicolon as delimiter because that make
testing the feature on the command line much easier.
