security/netpgpverify: Handle issuer fingerprint subpackets.

Thank you! I can confirm this works with my newer gpg2-signed packages, and I can now drop my local patch for this.

This is an extremely dodgy stop-gap measure to verify signatures
produced by gpg2.  It does nothing to address pervasive problems in
netpgpverify, like PR security/57449 or PR bin/59823, or even more
narrowly scoped problems with using keyids instead of fingerprints.
I'm a little reluctant to even commit this stop-gap because the
problems are so bad, and a band-aid won't fix a spurting carotid.

Unfortunately nobody other than me is interested in signed packages, but despite the issues both myself and my users are very grateful it works.

Cheers,
