gpg: Stop early when trying to create a primary Elgamal key.

Description

gpg: Stop early when trying to create a primary Elgamal key.

* g10/misc.c (openpgp_pk_test_algo2): Add extra check.

The problem is that --key-gen --batch with a parameter file didn't
detect that Elgamal is not capable of signing and so an error was only
triggered at the time the self-signature was created. See the code
comment for details.
