Turns out there were a half-dozen upstream GnuPG changes that needed
backporting to stretch to make the enigmail test suite pass.

Additionally, the Enigmail test suite itself needs a bit of cleanup to
deal sensibly with the older version of GnuPG (in particular, rapidly
setting up and tearing down ephemeral GnuPG homedirs during the test
suite causes problems for the older version of gpg-agent, reported
upstream as https://gitlab.com/enigmail/enigmail/merge_requests/30)

I've requested for the release team to consider the changes for GnuPG in
stretch here:

  https://bugs.debian.org/910398

If the security team (or other people interested in enigmail) want to
follow up on that report, i'd appreciate it.

In the meantime, for enigmail, i've pushed a debian/stretch branch into
salsa with commit id b6e978d64af1defdfed876b09c8a57acb796ad72 as
2:2.0.8-5~deb9u1, which i've tested against the proposed gnupg2
2.1.18-8~deb9u3.

I welcome review of both of the GnuPG and Enigmail branches.
