Ben McGinnes 3a9e6a8e08 docs and examples: python howto
* Updated the decryption example code in the HOWTO and the
  corresponding decrypt-file.py script to gracefully handle a
  decryption failure.  This error will always be triggered when GPGME
  is used to try to decrypt an old, MDC-less encrypted message or
  file.
