Clean up "allow to"

Browse Source 
* README, cipher/cipher.c, cipher/pubkey.c, doc/gpg.texi: replace
  "allow to" with clearer text

In standard English, the normal construction is "${XXX} allows ${YYY}
to" -- that is, the subject (${XXX}) of the sentence is allowing the
object (${YYY}) to do something.  When the object is missing, the
phrasing sounds awkward, even if the object is implied by context.
There's almost always a better construction that isn't as awkward.

These changes should make the language a bit clearer.

is in general the preferable solution. However
the code is new and under some cirumstances it may
give different output than with the limited old
support. This option allows to explicity disable
support. This option explicitly disables
the use of iconv. Note, that iconv is also
disabled if gettext has been disabled.
