Consider a situation where the user passes "--status-fd 3" but file
descriptor 3 is not open.

During the course of executing the rest of the commands, it's possible
that gpg itself will open some files, and file descriptor 3 will get
allocated.

In this situation, the status information will be appended directly to
whatever file happens to have landed on fd 3 (the trustdb? the
keyring?).

This is a potential data destruction issue for all writable file
descriptor options:

--status-fd
--attribute-fd
--logger-fd

It's also a potential issue for readable file descriptor options, but
the risk is merely weird behavior, and not data corruption:

--override-session-key-fd
--passphrase-fd
--command-fd

Fixes this by checking whether the fd is valid early on before using
it.
