* delkey.c (do_delete_key): Allow deleting a public key with a secret

present if --expert is set.

* plaintext.c (handle_plaintext): Make bytecount static so it works with
multiple literal packets inside a message.

* encode.c, helptext.c (keygen.algo, keygen.algo.elg_se), keygen.c
(ask_algo), sig-check.c (do_check_messages), skclist.c (build_sk_list):
Rename "ElGamal" to "Elgamal" as that is the proper spelling nowadays.
Suggested by Jon Callas.
