Add signature verification of PGP/MIME-signed parts with --verify.
This is primarily for notmuch-show, although the functionality is added to show-message. Once signatures are processed a new part_sigstatus formatter is emitted, and the entire multipart/signed part is replaced with the contents of the signed part. At the moment only a json part_sigstatus formatting function is available. Emacs support to follow. The original work for this patch was done by Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg@fifthhorseman.net> whose help with this functionality I greatly appreciate.
