GnuPG 2.3+ will use a new format to store private keys that is both
more flexible and easier to read and edit by human beings.  The new
format stores name,value-pairs using the common mail and http header
convention.

This patch adds the parser and support code and prepares GnuPG 2.1 for
the new format.
