bug#63822: 29.0.90; Cannot save GPG files

[Reindert-Jan Ekker]

Saving GPG files seems to be broken. Here’s what I do:

- Open a GPG encrypted file
- Add a line of text
- Save (C-x C-s)

This shows "Saving filename.gpg ..." but does not finish.
The only way to regain control seems to be cancelling with C-g.

This seems to be a duplicate of an existing bug#63256.  I'm merging them.

This is a known problem with the latest release of GnuPG.  From
etc/PROBLEMS:

  *** Saving, via EasyPG, a file encrypted with GnuPG hangs

  This is known to happen with GnuPG v2.4.1.  The only known workaround
  is to downgrade to a version of GnuPG older than 2.4.1 (or, in the
  future, upgrade to a newer version which solves the problem, when such
  a fixed version becomes available).
