* tools/gpgsm-gencert.sh: remove deprecated script entirely. It is
fully replaced by gpgsm --gen-key
* doc/tools.texi: remove gpgsm-gencert.sh documentation
* .gitignore: no longer ignore gpgsm-gencert.sh manpage
* doc/Makefile.am: quit making the manpage
* tools/Makefile.am: quit distributing the script
* doc/howto-create-a-server-cert.texi: overhaul documentation to use
gpgsm --gen-key and tweak explanations

The commit deprecating gpgsm-gencert.sh
(81972ca7d5) dates back exactly 6 years.
https://codesearch.debian.net/results/gpgsm-gencert.sh
suggests that in all of debian it is only referenced in documentation
(for poldi and scute) and example files (libept), and isn't actually
used directly anywhere.
Furthermore, trying to use gpgsm-gencert.sh to make a simple webserver
certificate-signing request failed for me, following the examples in
doc/howto-create-a-server-cert.texi exactly.
It's time we ripped off this band-aid :)

* build-aux/getswdb.sh: New.
* build-aux/speedo.mk: Get release version numbers from swdb.lst.

This should make maintaining GnuPG installations easier. Running
make -f /foo/gnupg/build-aux/speedo.mk TARGETOS=native WHAT=release
downloads all GnuPG related packages and builds them. The gnupg
directory may be a GIT checkout but in that case please run
./autogen.sh on it first. Note that currently swdb.lst is always
downloaded from gnupg.org and thus monitoring the network or the gnupg
machine reveal information on who is currently building GnuPG. If
there is an easy way to detect that TOR is enabled this can be changed
to directly download from the GnuPG hidden service.
* build-aux/speedo.mk: Change name of build directory to PLAY.
Improve the dist-source target.
* build-aux/speedo/w32/gdk-pixbuf-loaders.cache: Add a blank
line (plus comment).
* build-aux/speedo/w32/inst.nsi: Change name of file to gnupg-w32-*.
Install more tools.

gdk-pixbuf-loaders.cache needs to end with an extra LF or the
gdk-pixbuf is not able to read the last entry. The final comment is
to make our git sanity checks happy.
Running
make -f build-aux/speedo.mk \
TARGETOS=w32 TARBALLS=~/tarballs installer
does now create a working installer. After removing dirmngr from the
installation GPA kind of works. There are remaining problems with
dirmngr and scdaemon which will be fixed soon.
Running
make -f build-aux/speedo.mk \
TARGETOS=w32 TARBALLS=~/tarballs dist-source
creates an xz compressed tarball with all the sources used to build
the installer. Distributing this tarball along with the installer is
sufficient to comply with the GPL. Well, some more instructions
should be given in the readme files.
* build-aux/speedo/: New.
* build-aux/speedo/w32/: New.
--
The new installer uses some code from Gpg4win but is much smaller and
easier to maintain. To build an installer, unpack GnuPG and then run
make -f build-aux/speedo.mk TARBALLS=~/mytarballs installer
~/mytarballs is a directory with tarballs of external libraries. See
speedo.mk for a list of them.
WARNING: The installed W32 version does not correctly work right now.
