[PATCH] correct "trusted" to "valid" for trust-model always

With --trust-model=always, all keys and user IDs are considered
automatically valid; they are not automatically trusted (setting
universal ownertrust to anything other than "ultimate" would be
insufficient to acheive the effect of --trust-model=always, due to
--max-cert-depth and certificate path reachability).

Thanks to Nicolai Josuttis for pointing out this documentation error.
