[guardian-dev] shared Java lib for accessing OpenPGP keyservers

So I've recently realized that a lot of the complexity in the GnuPG suite is
the keyserver stuff for both OpenPGP and S/MIME.  S/MIME is pretty low
priority for us, so I was thinking of ignoring the GnuPG keyserver stuff
(dirmngr, etc) and using a Android-native Java implementation.

That would be much easier to add Tor support to, and to integrate into the UI.
 I figure this code already exists to some degree in APG and OpenPGP Keychain,
its just a matter of restructuring it into a shared library so we can share
the code.

How does this sound?
