--pgp2 option

Here's a --pgp2 command line option.  With all of the repeated
questions on various mailing lists and people getting confused, I
think this should help reduce the number of times the PGP 2 question
gets asked.

The big difference between this and the "--rfc1991 --cipher-algo idea
--compress-algo 1" solution in the HOWTO is that with --pgp2 set,
GnuPG will return an error if the user tries to do something that will
not work with PGP 2.x.  Errors are returned for using a pipe instead
of a filename as well as trying to encrypt to a non V3 or non-RSA key.

ChangeLog attached as well :)

David

+	* g10.c, options.h: New option --pgp2.  This is identical to
+	"--rfc1991 --cipher-algo idea --compress-algo 1" with the addition
+	of an error to force the user not to use a pipe (which would break
+	pgp2 compatibility).
+
+        * encode.c (encode_crypt): fail if the user tries to encrypt to a
+	non-RSA or non-V3 (really the same thing) when the --pgp2 option
+	is used.
