gpg: New experimental import option "bulk-import"

Browse source 
* g10/options.h (IMPORT_BULK): New.
* g10/import.c (parse_import_options): Add "bulk-import".
* g10/call-keyboxd.c (in_transaction): New var.
(gpg_keyboxd_deinit_session_data): Run a commit if in bulk import
mode.
(create_new_context): Run a begin transaction if in bulk import mode.

Initial tests with this option are not very promising.  Importing
about 3000 real world keys with --use-keyboxd and full logging took:

   real    33m31.724s
   user    19m54.265s
   sys     2m49.662s

With bulk-import this saves a mere 12%:

   real    29m36.542s
   user    19m3.391s
   sys     2m46.728s

@item bulk-import
When used with --use-keyboxd do the import within a single
transaction. This is an experimental feature.

Import the smallest key possible. This removes all signatures except
the most recent self-signature on each user ID. This option is the
