[Merge] lp:~smoser/software-properties/trunk.lp1667725-https-signing-key into lp:software-properties

[Scott Moser]

Scott Moser has proposed merging lp:~smoser/software-properties/trunk.lp1667725-https-signing-key into lp:software-properties.

Commit message:
Get PPA key signing data from launchpad https rather than keyserver.

Previously adding of a PPA would read the signing key fingerprint from
launchpad and then read the signing key data from keyserver.ubuntu.com
over https.

This changes that to use the newly added getSigningKeyData operation
from launchpad.  The primary benefit of this is a reduction in the number
of external services that 'add-apt-repository' relies upon.
That means less external services that may be down, and also less
holes poked in egress networking to allow add-apt-repository to work.
