Extension: In the encryption/sign dialog, show recipients taking account for the key capabilities

[koto]

In the keyring, for given User IDs we might have public/secret (sub)keys that can only encrypt/sign or verify a message. There is no guarantee that we can encrypt a message for every user id in a public keyring. For example, some keys might have been revoked,expired or just missing.

We should not allow the user to choose a user Chip as a recipient, if we don't have an encrypting key for that user.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Import the following key - passphrase 'koto'

2. Try to encrypt the message.
3. Enter koto+rsa in the recipients list

What happens:
You can choose koto+rsa identity. Encrypting the message will however only encrypt to senders' key, because koto+rsa UID has no public key to encrypt to.

What should happen:
koto+rsa Chip should be a red chip or should not show in the UI at all.

[koto]

We need to expose getValidEncryptionKeys in ContextImpl or make TransferableKey.toKeyObject() expose information whether a valid encryption (sub)key is present and filter based on those.

Same for signing.

This is taken into account for the Keyringv2 design.
