[PATCH v2] test: add_gnupg_home should have ultimate trust on "its own" key

The typical use case for gpg is that if you control a secret key, you
mark it with "ultimate" ownertrust.

This bizarrely opaque --import-ownertrust mechanism is GnuPG's
standard mechanism to set up ultimate ownertrust (the ":6" means
"ultimate", for whatever reason).
