* gnupg.7: Clarify that 'gpgv' doesn't encrypt, and that's not a bug.

<term>--multifile</term>
<listitem><para>
This modifies certain other commands to accept multiple files for
processing on the command line or read from stdin with each filename
on a separate line. This allows for many files to be processed at
once. --multifile may currently be used along with --verify,
--encrypt, and --decrypt. Note that `--multifile --verify' may not be
used with detached signatures.

<term>--verify-files <optional><parameter/files/</optional></term>
<listitem><para>
This is a special version of the --verify command which does not work with
detached signatures. The command expects the files to be verified either
on the command line or reads the filenames from stdin; each name must be on
separate line. The command is intended for quick checking of many files.
Identical to `--multifile --verify'.

from stdin; each name must be on separate line. The command is intended

The same as --encrypt-files with the difference that files will be
decrypted. The syntax of the filenames is the same.
