repo-add: add -v/--verify option
This is intended to verify an existing signature on a database before
making further changes to it and performing updates. Rarely would you
use this without immediately resigning it via the -s/--sign option.
Instead, it is intended as a "chain of trust" operation where the
previous signature is verified to give you some sense that what you sign
off on is also safe.
Still todo: don't make changes unless the signature is not only good,
but also in the accepted list of keys.
