[PATCH] Silence "using xxx as default secret key" message with --quiet flag

Sorry for the drive-by patch.  I've recently started using gpg 2.1, and
now every time I sign a message in mutt, gpg generates the output
  gpg: using "xxxx" as default secret key for signing
despite passing the --quiet flag.

It looks like just adding a check for opt.quiet inside
parse_def_secret_key() should silence this message.

I can't seem to clone the git repos right now, so I'm attaching a simple
diff.  Would it be possible to have this committed?

Thank you,

-Kevin
