commit c9387e41db7520d176edd3d6613b85875bdeb32c

    gpg: Avoid publishing the GnuPG version by default
    
    * g10/gpg.c (main): initialize opt.emit_version to 0
    * doc/gpg.texi: document different default for --emit-version

    The version of GnuPG in use is not particularly helpful.  It is not
    cryptographically verifiable, and it doesn't distinguish between
    significant version differences like 2.0.x and 2.1.x.
    
    Additionally, it leaks metadata that can be used to distinguish users
    from one another, and can potentially be used to target specific
    attacks if there are known behaviors that differ between major
    versions.
    
    It's probably better to take the more parsimonious approach to
    metadata production by default.
