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

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Apache 2.0 is fine by me.  In this dev sprint of GPGA, we won't have time to
do much on the keyserver support, so I'm just taking the code from OpenPGP
Keychain and integrating it.  In the next dev sprint, we plan on doing full
Tor support, and I'd like to support HKPS, then we can also split out the code
into a nicely shareable package.

It might be simplest to just have it as a separate repo and we release a jar,
but I'm open to other arrangements.
