For GPG mode, added a new access.conf variable "GPG_ALLOW_NO_PW" to make it possible to leverage a server-side GPG key pair that has no associated password. This comes in handy when a system requires the user to leverage gpg-agent / pinentry which can present a problem in automated environments as required by the fwknopd server. Now, it might seem like a problem to remove the passphrase from a GPG key pair, but it's important to note that simply doing this is little worse than storing the passphrase in the clear on disk anyway in the access.conf file.
