Do database signature checking at load time
This is the ideal place to do it as all clients should be checking the return value and ensuring there are no errors. This is similar to pkg_load(). We also add an additional step of validation after we download a new database; a subsequent '-y' operation can potentially invalidate the original check at registration time. Note that this implementation is still a bit naive; if a signature is invalid it is currently impossible to refresh and re-download the file without manually deleting it first. Similarly, if one downloads a database and the check fails, the database object is still there and can be used. These shortcomings will be addressed in a future commit.
