package-test-signed calls (epg-check-configuration (epg-configuration)),
the obsolete `epg-configuration' functions fills the cache without
checking the version, and epg-check-configuration only checks against
epg-gpg-minimum-version which is "1.4.3", hence 2.0.x can satisfy it.

Then when (epg-find-configuration 'OpenPGP) is called, the cache already
has the 2.0 config in it, and so just uses that instead of rejecting
"gpg2" for being less than 2.1.6.

[1: e80c2a7b47] says that "Emacs doesn't work well with 2.0 series".
But if I understand correctly, Glenn is now seeing all the tests pass
using 2.0.22 (cf [2: 24d06313c4]), so...
