[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

As discussed in #52483 [0], our GnuPG package cannot do symmetric
encryption and decryption. However, we do have a hidden GnuPG package
that doesn't include this bug.

The first patch unhide that package, make the pinentry mechanism work on
Guix, and adjust the emacs-pinentry package to avoid needing to hide
this GnuPG variant in the first place.

The second patch removes emacs-pinentry entirely, because it is
apparently no longer useful and abandoned upstream.

I pushed this patch as d03aa942def0037cb32ff1d0cc2ac5d13f1a63df

I did not push the second patch, which removes emacs-pinentry. I'll
close this ticket and let Emacs users decide what to do with
emacs-pinentry.
