gpg_requirement: add standalone requirement
GPG 1.x has stopped receiving new features, some of which we may well want to
take advantage of sooner or later in Homebrew. Upstream has also been attempting
to work out for a while how well used it still is which suggests it may "go away"
at some point in the future.

Debian is also in the process of migrating GnuPG 1.x to a `gpg1` executable
whilst GnuPG 2.1.x assumes the `gpg` executable. There's a detailed video
discussion of this from DebConf 2015 at:
http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2015/debconf15/GnuPG_in_Debian_report.webm

It's unsafe to assume every `gpg` executable is going to forever equal 1.x and
every `gpg2` executable is going to forever equal 2.x. MacGPG2 has been symlinking
2.x as a vanilla `gpg` for a while, for example, and we will be soon as well.

You'll still be able to plonk the `libexec/bin` path of `gpg` in your PATH to
access a vanilla `gpg` 1.x executable if you want to, but we're not going to
actively keep adding gpg1 support to formulae going forwards. There's really no
reason why 99.9% of projects should not or cannot use `gpg2` these days.

This uses detection methods to determine regardless of what the executable
is called we're always hitting a 2.0 GnuPG or nothing.

Contributing

We'd love you to contribute to Homebrew. First, please read our Contribution Guide and Code of Conduct.

We explicitly welcome contributions from people who have never contributed to open-source before: we were all beginners once! We can help build on a partially working pull request with the aim of getting it merged. We are also actively seeking to diversify our contributors and especially welcome contributions from women from all backgrounds and people of colour.

A good starting point for contributing is running brew audit (or brew audit --strict) with some of the packages you use (e.g. brew audit wget if you use wget) and then read through the warnings, try to fix them until brew audit shows no results and submit a pull request. If no formulae you use have warnings you can run brew audit without arguments to have it run on all packages and pick one. Good luck!

Security

Please report security issues to security@brew.sh.
