pacman-key: rework importing distro/repo provided keyrings
The current --reload option, apart from being non-clear in its naming, is very limited in that only one keyring can be provided. A distribution may want to provide multiple keyrings for various subsets of its organisation or custom repo providers may also want to provide a keyring. This patch adds a --populate option that reads keyrings from (by default) /usr/share/pacman/keyrings. A keyring is named foo.gpg, with optional foo-revoked file providing a list of revoked key ids. These files are required to be signed (detached) by a key trusted by pacman-key, in practice probably by the key that signed the package providing these files. The --populate flag either updates the pacman keyring using all keyrings in the directory or individual keyrings can be specified. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
