[issue217] gpgme: use gpgme_userid_t->email instead of gpgme_userid_t->uid for x.509 email addresses.

[Marc Mutz]

New submission from Marc Mutz <marc at klaralvdalens-datakonsult.se>:

There is this weird convention that the DN of an x.509 cert is in 
key->uids->uid, and the email address(es) in key->uids->(next->)+uid, enclosed 
in <angle brackets>. However, there is an "email" field in gpgme_userid_t, 
which in these cases is NULL. 
 
A more logical place would be that email field, of course, but it should be 
extended to keep a list of emails, so as to better reflect the structure of 
X.509 keys/certs. An OpenPGP key would still have only one email address there, 
or you keep the email field, and add the array as email_s_.
