[Bug 1564234] [NEW] gpgme1.0 doesn't work properly with gnupg 2.0

[Mario Limonciello]

Public bug reported:

In trying to debug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fwupd/+bug/1536871/comments/16
there has been the discovery that gpgme doesn't actually verify the
version of gnupg on the system and sends arguments to it that are only
supported in Gnupg 2.1.

http://git.gnupg.org/cgi-
bin/gitweb.cgi?p=gpgme.git;a=commit;h=61a0d92b679f248505f1bf16386bc41a5bf2ba1d

This causes problems because the error doesn't populate up to apps as an
import failure but rather a silent pass with no results.
