Kleopatra: Add support for adding a subkey
Testing, NormalPublic

Description

This is relevant for VSD-3.3 IMO since from a security standpoint it makes sense to regularly change the encryption subkeys and expire old ones while keeping the sign/certify key.

It should also allow you to create an Authentication / Sign subkey though since there are usecases for that, too.

Tested with gpg4win-beta-50:
Adding a subkey works, its possible to add A, E or S subkeys with different algorithms and expiration dates.

One minor irritation: you do not see what the standard algorithm will be before you create it.
