Try to encapsulate egpg inside a docker container #9

Try using Docker, similar to what letsencrypt does, to make sure that it is really platform independent (no worries anymore wether you run it on centos or ubuntu, etc.) This can also allow using the latest version og gpg2 (for example by compiling it from the code). However I am not sure whether it is going to work well. For example pinentry may be a challange.

This does not seem to work well, because programs inside a container cannot modify any file on the host system. The complexity of the scripts would be increased anyway. Also, using the latest version of gpg2 (for example compiling it from the code) does not seem like a good idea. It is better to work with the latest stable version, which does not change frequently.

To support different platforms, building .deb and .rpm packages would be a better way (see #19).
