* g10/gpg.c (main): initialize opt.emit_version to 0
* doc/gpg.texi: document different default for --emit-version

The version of GnuPG in use is not particularly helpful. It is not
cryptographically verifiable, and it doesn't distinguish between
significant version differences like 2.0.x and 2.1.x.
Additionally, it leaks metadata that can be used to distinguish users
from one another, and can potentially be used to target specific
attacks if there are known behaviors that differ between major
versions.
It's probably better to take the more parsimonious approach to
metadata production by default.

* README, cipher/cipher.c, cipher/pubkey.c, doc/gpg.texi: replace
"allow to" with clearer text
In standard English, the normal construction is "${XXX} allows ${YYY}
to" -- that is, the subject (${XXX}) of the sentence is allowing the
object (${YYY}) to do something. When the object is missing, the
phrasing sounds awkward, even if the object is implied by context.
There's almost always a better construction that isn't as awkward.
These changes should make the language a bit clearer.

gpg and gpgv treat signatures made over MD5 as unreliable, unless the
user supplies --allow-weak-digests to gpg. Signatures over any other
digest are considered acceptable.
Despite SHA-1 being a mandatory-to-implement digest algorithm in RFC
4880, the collision-resistance of SHA-1 is weaker than anyone would
like it to be.
Some operators of high-value targets that depend on OpenPGP signatures
may wish to require their signers to use a stronger digest algorithm
than SHA1, even if the OpenPGP ecosystem at large cannot deprecate
SHA1 entirely today.
This changeset adds a new "--weak-digest DIGEST" option for both gpg
and gpgv, which makes it straightforward for anyone to treat any
signature or certification made over the specified digest as
unreliable.
This option can be supplied multiple times if the operator wishes to
deprecate multiple digest algorithms, and will be ignored completely
if the operator supplies --allow-weak-digests (as before).
MD5 is always considered weak, regardless of any further
--weak-digest options supplied.

Allowing to use the abbreviated form for detached signatures is a long
standing bug which has only been noticed by the public with the
release of 2.1.0. :-(
What we do is to remove the ability to check detached signature in
--batch using the one file abbreviated mode. This should exhibit
problems in scripts which use this insecure practice. We also print a
warning if a matching data file exists but was not considered because
the detached signature was actually a standard signature:
gpgv: Good signature from "Werner Koch (dist sig)"
gpgv: WARNING: not a detached signature; \
file 'gnupg-2.1.0.tar.bz2' was NOT verified!
We can only print a warning because it is possible that a standard
signature is indeed to be verified but by coincidence a file with a
matching name is stored alongside the standard signature.

This option is in particular useful to convert from a pubring.gpg to

* configure.ac: Added --enable-large-secmem option.

* g10/keygen.c: Adjust max RSA size based on opt.flags.large_rsa
* doc/gpg.texi: Document --enable-large-rsa.
--
Some older implementations built and used RSA keys up to 16Kib, but
the larger secret keys now fail when used by more recent GnuPG, due to
secure memory limitations.
Building with ./configure --enable-large-secmem will make gpg
capable of working with those secret keys, as well as permitting the
use of a new gpg option --enable-large-rsa, which let gpg generate RSA
keys up to 8Kib when used with --batch --gen-key.

To keep the number of actually used algorithms low, we support IDEA
only in a basically read-only way (unless --pgp2 is used during key
generation). It does not make sense to suggest the use of this old 64
bit blocksize algorithm. However, there is old data available where
it might be helpful to have IDEA available.
