partial checking with substantial progress towards epg passphrase callback arrangements. several reasons to drop the special provisions: - gpg v1 is required for passphrase callback operation - so allout passphrase hinting and verification requires that - exposes passphrase to emacs code, which is much much less secure than sticking with gpg v2 and leaving all passphrase handling in gpg - leaving all passphrase handling to gpg removes a lot of complexity from allout code - gpg v2 connection to gpg-agent requires no user provisions, so is simpler and provides some convenience that makes up for the lack of hinting and verification this checkin includes a partially developed version of allout-epg-passphrase-callback-function, with hinting and ready to implement the passphrase verification. but there's a lot to go there, and in working through the twisty flow to adjust the verifier and hint string, etc. not worth it, considering the above trade-offs.
