* gpg.sgml: Clarify the differences between "pref" and "showpref". Note in 

"setpref" that a list of available algorithms can be printed with "gpg -v
--version".  Note in "updpref" that we don't select keys via attribute
uids, so preferences there will be ignored.

Set the list of user ID preferences to &ParmString;, this should be
a string similar to the one printed by "pref". Using an empty string
will set the default preference string, using "none" will set the
preferences to nil. Only available algorithms are allowed. This
command just initializes an internal list and does not change anything
unless another command which changes the self-signatures is used.

self-signatures will be advanced by one second. Note that while you
can change the preferences on an attribute user ID (aka "photo ID"),
GnuPG does not select keys via attribute user IDs so these preferences
will not be used by GnuPG.
