This is now implemented, in nvm.key_management. Test in
tests/automate_key_manage, renamed from automate_read_packets.

I used the command names 'automate pubkey', 'automate dropkey', to match
the corresponding non-automate commands.

'automate dropkey' drops the private key if present, as non-automate
does. I didn't see any reason to change the behavior.

I wasn't sure where to put 'automate dropkey' and 'automate pubkey' in
monotone.texi; the 'packets' or 'automate' section. They are in
'automate' for now.
