Decrypt a file in a script without knowing who will be entering the passphrase.
What happened
age does not support trying multiple identities when decrypting a file. E.G. a file was encrypted with --recipients-file <(cat alice.pub bob.pub). A script that runs automatically on boot uses age -d -i alice.priv -i bob.priv. It might be either Alice or Bob who is present to enter the passphrase for their private key; the system does not know which. It should try the passphrase on both private keys so that decryption will succeed no matter which one of them is present.
