generateKey as at  
https://github.com/horde/Crypt/blob/master/lib/Horde/Crypt/Pgp/Backend/Binary.php#L112 is fundamentally broken with gpg2, where direct interaction with secret keys is no longer  
possible.

In particular, an ignored option (secret_keyring) is passed to  
--gen-key and then used as if it was not ignored. All secret keys are  
stored in GNUPGHOME/private-keys-v1.d/ now (and are not named in a way  
that is trivial to deduce).

This blocks the ability for Ubuntu 18.04 to ship an updated php-horde-crypt.
