repo-add: add -v/--verify option
This is intended to verify an existing signature on a database before making further changes to it and performing updates. Rarely would you use this without immediately resigning it via the -s/--sign option. Instead, it is intended as a "chain of trust" operation where the previous signature is verified to give you some sense that what you sign off on is also safe. Still todo: don't make changes unless the signature is not only good, but also in the accepted list of keys. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
