app-emacs/pinentry: new package, add 0.1_p20170913
This has been taken from lisp/net/pinentry.el in the GNU Emacs
repository. The file was dropped in Emacs 26 because of its sparse
documentation (see upstream bug at https://debbugs.gnu.org/27445
and etc/NEWS.26 in Emacs).

The package is still useful, e.g. with gpgsm, where loopback
pinentry-mode isn't supported by EasyPG.

The corresponding client is installed by app-crypt/pinentry[emacs]
as pinentry-emacs.

This package (and corresponding support in app-crypt/pinentry)
provides a way to input a passphrase through the Emacs minibuffer.
To use it, add the line
allow-emacs-pinentry
to your gpg-agent.conf configuration file, which can usually be found
in the ~/.gnupg/ directory.
The pinentry server can be started with the command "pinentry-start".
You may add the following line to your Emacs configuration file:
(pinentry-start 'quiet)
