I took this bug-report to say "make sure that we handle .gpg files in
a file-safe way, showing the raw-bytes if we can't show the decrypted
content".  So rather than try to detect that we have a keyring, we
should just try to decrypt and look at the resulting error
(which should hopefully be different for "bad decryption key" than it
is for "trying to decrypt something else (e.g. a keyring file)").
