gpg: Improve passphrase caching.
* agent/cache.c (last_stored_cache_key): New. (agent_get_cache): Allow NULL for KEY. (agent_store_cache_hit): New. * agent/findkey.c (unprotect): Call new function and try to use the last stored key. * g10/revoke.c (create_revocation): Add arg CACHE_NONCE and pass to make_keysig_packet. (gen_standard_revoke): Add arg CACHE_NONCE and pass to create_revocation. * g10/keygen.c (do_generate_keypair): Call gen_standard_revoke with cache nonce. -- This patch adds two features: 1. The key for the last passphrase successfully used for unprotecting a key is stored away. On a cache miss the stored away passphrase is tried as well. This helps for the common GPG use case of having a signing and encryption (sub)key with the same passphrase. See the code for more comments. 2. The now auto-generated revocation certificate does not anymore popup a passphrase prompt. Thus for standard key generation the passphrase needs to be given only once (well, two with the confirmation).
