- subkey changes

An expired key triggers a reload of the key via WKD or DANE.  Modulo the
problems I mentioned in the former mail.  For new subkeys we have a
problem unless we do a regular refresh similar to what should be done
for revocations.

Most subkey changes that I am aware of are not due to people's old subkeys expiring, but because they add new ones for reasons like migrating between smartcard solutions or just being nerdy and picking a new ECC-based subkey.

When this happens, a maintainer who tries to verify a signed pull request will have the operation fail, so they need to have a way to force-refresh the developer's key. I would say this is the #1 workflow scenario that I need to fix if we can't rely on the SKS network any more.
