[pass] [PATCH 1/2] init: respect multiple subkeys during reencryption

In the case where an identity has multiple subkeys for encryption, reencryption
was partially broken. To prevent unnecessary reencryption, the current keys
for a file are compared with the expected keys for a given gpg id. This requires
the means to translate a gpg id into a normalised long keyid.

By default, passing the id of a particular subkey as a recipient does not
necessarily cause gpg to encrypt with that key, rather, gpg takes the
parent identity and chooses a subkey independently. From the code in the function
gpgsm_add_to_certlist (gnupg/sm/certlist.c), it appears gpg simply takes the
last subkey in the list with the encryption flag set. gpg can be forced to use
a specific encryption key by appending '!' to the end of the key id.

For example:

pub   4096R/4A241115 2014-04-26 [expires: 2018-09-18]
sub   4096R/D132D31E 2014-09-19
sub   2048R/8CD8DCB7 2014-09-19

Both D132D31E and 8CD8DCB7 have the encryption flag set.

$ pass init 4A241115
$ pass generate foo 12
$ pass generate dir/bar 12

$ gpg -v --list-only .password-store/foo.gpg
Version: GnuPG v2
gpg: armor header:
gpg: public key is 8CD8DCB7

$ pass init D132D31E
Password store initialized for D132D31E

$ pass init D132D31E!
Password store initialized for D132D31E!
dir/bar: reencrypting to 2698F2A9D132D31E
foo: reencrypting to 2698F2A9D132D31E

$ pass init -p dir D132D31E! 8CD8DCB7!
Password store initialized for D132D31E!, 8CD8DCB7!
dir/bar: reencrypting to 2698F2A9D132D31E 71B10D108CD8DCB7

$ pass generate dir/foobar 12
$ gpg -v --list-only .password-store/dir/foobar.gpg
Version: GnuPG v2
gpg: armor header:
gpg: public key is D132D31E
gpg: public key is 8CD8DCB7
