[messaging] Release of OpenKeychain 2.8 for Android

[zaki at manian.org]

Hi all, this should be on interest to the group.

The OpenKeychain project has made enormous progress in the making usable
PGP available on Android. It appears to be a great improvement over APG and
the Guardian Project's GnuPG efforts on Android.

Obvious caveats about the fundamental insecurity of storing PGP keys on
Android devices apply. Maybe there will be Yubikey support sometime in the
future.

Summary of the 2.8 Release:
