If shortening fingerprints, the trailing '!' from subkey fingerprints is removed, and the wrong key is selected later on, potentially resulting in just-created secrets not being decryptable. Fixes getsops#1365 Signed-off-by: tilpner <[email protected]>

As @mammothbane already identified in #1365, the pgp module is stripping the trailing exclamation mark from fingerprints that pgp uses to identify specific subkeys.
Because the shortened fingerprint refers to the whole key instead of just the subkey, I can't decrypt any secrets I encrypt for that subkey.
According to the doc comment, this was meant for compatibility with older GPG versions. I don't know which incompatibilities @hiddeco was referring to here, or if they are still relevant.
