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

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Ok, I started in on this, looks pretty straightforward.  Once I get this
integrated, I'd like to start work on adding Orbot support to HkpKeyServer,
and also HkpsKeyServer class that includes Orbot support too.

Parts of that code look a bit crufty, I took a stab at cleaning up the
hex/keyid stuff.  It'll be included straight in gnupg-for-android for now,
then we can work out how best to ship it as a standalone project.
