…ng/verifying/signing using subkeys Breaking change: the requirements of `config.minRSABits`, `rejectPublicKeyAlgorithms` and `rejectCurves` are now applied to the primary key, aside from the selected subkey. The motivation is that the subkeys are certified by the primary key, but if the latter is weak, arbitrary subkeys could potentially be added. Note that the change does not affect decryption, to allow decrypting older messages.

Fix #1608: the requirements of
config.minRSABits,rejectPublicKeyAlgorithmsandrejectCurvesare now applied to the primary key, aside from the selected subkey. This is a breaking change.
The motivation is that the subkeys are certified by the primary key, but if the latter is
weak, arbitrary subkeys could potentially be added.
Note that the change does not affect decryption, to allow decrypting older messages.
