Instructions for converting keyring for 2.1

[Peter Lebbing]

I just followed the instructions on [1] for converting your pubring.gpg to the
new keybox format. I discovered I needed --import-options import-local-sigs on
the import command to also import my local signatures, which obviously is very
desirable when converting your public keyring... it's a bit lossy otherwise :S.

Here's a diff for the gnupg-doc git:
