[pacman-dev] [PATCH 4/4] pacman-key: Actually verify signatures and exit with correct codes

We cannot rely on gpg's exit code. Instead we have to check the status-fd to
figoure out whether a signature is valid or not.

In addition to this pacman-key --verify can now be used in scripts as it will
return an exit code of 1 if the signature is invalid.
