[Message part 1 (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.
