g10: Use total days, not total messages to compute TOFU validity

Browse Source 
* g10/tofu.c (write_stats_status): Use the number of days with
signatures / encryptions to compute the validity, not the total number
of signatures / encryptions.
(BASIC_TRUST_THRESHOLD): Adjust given the new semantics.
(FULL_TRUST_THRESHOLD): Likewise.
