dirmngr: New option --ignore-cert
* dirmngr/dirmngr.h (struct fingerprint_list_s): Add field binlen.
(opt): Add field ignored_certs.
* dirmngr/dirmngr.c: Add option --ignore-cert
(parse_rereadable_options): Handle that option.
(parse_ocsp_signer): Rename to ...
(parse_fingerprint_item): this and add two args.
* dirmngr/certcache.c (put_cert): Ignore all to be igored certs.
Change callers to handle the new error return.

This option is useful as a workaround in case we ill run into other
chain validation errors like what we fixed in

Any argument +which contains a slash, dot or tilde is considered a filename. Usual +filename expansion takes place: A tilde at the start followed by a +slash is replaced by the content of @env{HOME}, no slash at start +describes a relative filename which will be searched at the home +directory. To make sure that the @var{file} is searched in the home +directory, either prepend the name with "./" or use a name which +contains a dot. The format of such a file is a list of SHA-1 +fingerprint, one per line with optional colons between the bytes. +Empty lines and lines prefixed with a hash mark are ignored. + +This option is useful as a quick workaround to exclude certain +certificates from the system store. + + @item --hkp-cacert @var{file} Use the root certificates in @var{file} for verification of the TLS certificates used with @code{hkps} (keyserver access over TLS).
