Let pacman specify GnuPG's home directory.
GnuPG looks for configuration files and keyrings in its home directory. For a user, that is typically ~/.gnupg. This patch causes pacman to use /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/ as the default GnuPG home. One may override the default using --gpgdir on the command-line or GPGDir in pacman's configuration file.
