94bf13e78e PEP8 compliance and other code fixes
* Ran all the .py files in src/ and below through Yapf.
* Included some manual edits of core.py, this time successfully making
  two notorious sections a bit more pythonic than scheming.
* Left the module imports as is.
* This will be committed if it passes the most essential test:
  compiling, installing and running it.

If the build directory has too long path, gpgme could fail.
This is similar to

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=847206

In order to fix that, this patch extracts the GNUPGHOME variable
to be presented directly in the Makefile and thus overridable by
command line option.

A build system can then create a symlink to the GNUPGHOME directory
in /tmp and use that symlink as the GNUPGHOME directory
thus making the path very short.

4d1642b11e docs: python bindings howto
* Fixed and tested the changes necessary for org-mode to correctly
  parse pythonic (Python 3) indentation.
* Updated the source blocks to recommended upper case for BEGIN_SRC
  and END_SRC.
* Tested and confirmed XHTML output matches correct examples.
* Tested against pseudo-control output via exporting from org-mode to
  org-mode and then exporting that to XHTML.  Remaining differences
  appear to be discarding the custom tags used to provide X[HT]ML id
  elements to each section which does not appear to offer any benefit.
* Exporting directly to XHTML or other HTML output should no longer
  cause problems, but if there are any then the first step should be
  exporting from org-to-org and then exporting that to XHTML.

a5b91b21f5 python bindings: export secret keys
* The holy grail: a function to export secret keys.
* GPGME will still invoke pinentry and gpg-agent as usual to authorise
  the export.
* Mostly similar to the two previous export functions for public keys
  except that it will return None if the result had a length of zero
  bytes.  Meaning that the difference between the specified pattern
  (if any) not matching available keys and an incorrect passphrase is
  not able to be determined from this function (or the underlying one
  for that matter).

python: Fix crash by leaving struct members intact
* lang/python/setup.py.in: Copy gpgme.h instead of parsing it.
--
The python bindings tried to parse deprecated functions
out of gpgme.h. This fails for the current gpgme.h in
that it removes an entire field in the key sig struct (_obsolete_class).
Hence, the fields were off by an int and the bindings accessed struct
members via the wrong offset. That caused python program to crash.
At least on 32bit platforms, the crash can be easily triggered by
accessing key.uids[0].signatures. On 64bit platforms the compiler
probably aligns the struct so that the missing 4 bytes are not noticed.

With this change, the python bindings will expose all functions
that gpgme exposes, including the deprecated ones.

Credits go to Justus Winter for debugging and identying the issue.

* Also encrypts to the default key.

* Example to encrypt a file to a single key.
* Takes key ID and/or fpr as a CLI parameter.
* Takes path and filename as a CLI parameter.
* Encrypts to specified key only, no signing and writes the output in
  both ASCII armoured and GPG binary formats with output filenames
  based on input filename.

8f7672ad1b doc: python bindings example README
* Added the same license as used with the HOWTO.
* Since these examples are so basic, they'll be dual licensed the same
  as GPGME itself (otherwise it would slip too dangerously against the
  need for permissive licensing of crypto libraries).

3e0f68fdff example: python bindings encryption
* Since we don't want to encourage accessing the low level functions
  (e.g. op_encrypt), but since this example can still be useful to
  understand, renaming it and will add new encryption examples to
  match the instructions in the HOWTO.

0fb8a5d45c doc: python bindings howto
* Adjusted the python-gnupg so the comments regarding insecure
  invocation of commands via subprocess (shell=True) were a major
  historical issue and not a a current issue.
* Not including Vinay Sajip's requested change to say it is now secure
  since no audit of the current code base has been performed and my
  last major inspection of that code was around the time I first
  ported PyME to Python 3 in 2015.

  (mainly how to revoke things), this document is essentially ready
  for publication now.

  more commits in order to be sure no work gets lost in case of
  emergency (or to put it another way: I know Telstra too well to
  trust them).

e8adab68f8 doc: Added multiple TODOs for inclusion in the HOWTO

* Some are a little less obvious.
* This includes the requests received to specifically include subkey
  management (adding and revoking subkeys on a primary key that's
  being retained.
* Added the UID equivalents to the list, as well as key selection
  matters (and may or may not include something for handling group

  confidantmail.org.

1ae3ead2cd Conflict with Phabricator files
* The developers of Phabricator, the web front-end on dev.gnupg.org
  have not implemented renderers for Markdown, Org-Mode or any other
  common markdown like language.
* They also refuse to do so.
* Instead they re-invented the wheel and implemented their own version
  of Markdown-like thing which is incompatible with everything else.
  It is called Remarkup.
* The developers of Phabricator and Remarkup have refused to provide
  conversion tools to move files to/from any format to/from Remarkup.
* They expect everyone to learn their new favourite pet project.
* Remarkup may or may not display Org Mode files, but if so then it is
  likely to only want to do so as plain text.
* There is an unaffiliated and unofficial project to convert Github
  Markdown to Remarkup via Pandoc.  This might be adapted for our use,
  but requires testing.
* Until then exporting from Org Mode to UTF-8 text is likely the least
  worst plan.
* Which means renaming this file to README.org first.
