[bug#43340] [PATCH 5/5] authenticate: Cache the ACL and key pairs.

["Ludovic Courtès" <ludo@gnu.org>]

In practice we're always using the same key pair,
/etc/guix/signing-key.{pub,sec}.  Keeping them in cache allows us to
avoid redundant I/O and parsing when signing multiple store items in a
row.

* guix/scripts/authenticate.scm (load-key-pair): New procedure.
(sign-with-key): Remove 'key-file' parameter and add 'public-key' and
'secret-key'.  Adjust accordingly.
(validate-signature): Add 'acl' parameter and pass it to
'authorized-key?'.
(guix-authenticate): Call 'current-acl' upfront and cache its result.
Add 'key-pairs' as an argument to 'loop' and use it as a cache of key
pairs.
