Removed bundled gpg from the Linux standalone build and OSX dmg

Browse source 
Because gpg now always wants to use gpg-agent, and shipping such a daemon
in those is not a good idea.

@ -2,3 +2,4 @@ In the sandbox environment used by git-annex standalone, the gpg binary exists,
If I want to use my own gpg version (compatible with my own gpg-agent), is it safe to just delete all files named 'gpg' from the git-annex.linux directory?

If I move gpg-agent out of path and presumably reproduce the problem,
I get this output from the test suite:
crypto: gpg: failed to start agent '/usr/bin/gpg-agent': No such file or directory
gpg: can't connect to the agent: No such file or directory
gpg: error getting the KEK: No agent running
FAIL
Exception: user error (gpg ["--batch","--no-tty","--use-agent","--quiet","--trust-model","always","--import","-q"] exited 2)
Which is the kind of information I was asking for.
[[!commit aee9adbadc2f17c5b5394fc2fde6c57c26917024]] has some relevant info.
I tried making git-annex not pass --use-agent, but it still tries
to use the agent:
crypto: gpg: failed to start agent '/usr/bin/gpg-agent': No such file or directory
gpg: can't connect to the agent: No such file or directory
gpg: error getting the KEK: No agent running
FAIL
Exception: user error (gpg ["--quiet","--trust-model","always","--import","-q"] exited 2)
preferred content: wanted . ok
I guess the easist thing would be to drop gpg fraom the standalone bundle.
Including gpg-agent in there seems like a bad idea; it's a daemon that
other gpg versions than the bundled one might try to talk to.
