Allan McRae c55cbfbd5f pacman-key: follow gpg options for listing keys
The current --list option outputed the keys and all their signatures
which can be overly verbose.  It also did not take a list of keys on
the command line to limit its output (although the code suggests that
was intended).

That patch brings consistency with gpg, providing --list-keys and
--list-sigs options that function equivalently to those provided by
gpg.

Name
----
pacman-key - manage pacman's list of trusted keys
Synopsis
--------
'pacman-key' [options]
Description
-----------
'pacman-key' is a wrapper script for GnuPG used to manage pacman's keyring, which
is the collection of PGP keys used to check signed packages and databases. It
provides the ability to import and export keys, fetch keys from keyservers and
update the key trust database.
More complex keyring management can be achieved using GnuPG directly combined with
the `--homedir` option pointing at the pacman keyring (located in
+{sysconfdir}/pacman.d/gnupg+ by default).
Options
-------
*-a, \--add* [file(s)]::
Add the key(s) contained in the specified file or files to pacman's
keyring. If a key already exists, update it.
*\--config* <file>::
Use an alternate config file instead of the +{sysconfdir}/pacman.conf+
default.
*-d, \--delete* <keyid(s)>::
Remove the key(s) identified by the specified keyid(s) from pacman's
keyring.
*-e, \--export* [keyid(s)]::
Export key(s) identified by the specified keyid(s) to 'stdout'. If no keyid
is specified, all keys will be exported.
*\--edit-key * <keyid(s)>::
Present a menu for key management task on the specified keyids. Useful for
adjusting a keys trust level.
*-f, \--finger* [keyid(s)]::
List a fingerprint for each specified keyid, or for all known keys if no
keyids are specified.
*\--gpgdir* <dir>::
Set an alternate home directory for GnuPG. If unspecified, the value is
read from +{sysconfdir}/pacman.conf+.
*-h, \--help*::
Output syntax and command line options.
*--import* <dir(s)>::
Adds keys from pubring.gpg into pacman's keyring and imports ownertrust
values from trustdb.gpg in the specified directories.
*--import-dirs* <dir(s)> ::
Imports ownertrust values from trustdb.gpg in the specified directories.
*--init*::
Ensure the keyring is properly initialized and has the required access
permissions.
*-l, \--list-keys* [keyid(s)]::
Lists all or specified keys from the public keyring.
*--list-sigs* [keyid(s)]::
Same as --list-keys, but the signatures are listed too.
*-r, \--receive* <keyserver> <keyid(s)>::
Fetch the specified keyids from the specified key server URL.
*\--reload*::
Reloads the keys from the keyring package.
*-u, \--updatedb*::
Equivalent to \--check-trustdb in GnuPG.
* -v, \--verify* <signature>::
Verify the given signature file.
*-V, \--version*::
Displays the program version.
