Feature description

On some legacy Linux systems where gpg versions 1 and 2 are both installed, the gpg mode for GCM won't work correctly. (See symptoms described on this mistaken issue: #334 ) Let me paraphrase my followup from that thread: The pass program expects to interact with gpg2, while GCM invokes gpg by name. If the command gpg still invokes gpg version 1, then various failures will arise (e.g., the user will always be prompted to recreate the stored credential, or no key will be found for the expected version of gpg). This is not an issue for users on systems where gpg invokes gpg2 by default.

It would be helpful if GCM had an option to manually specify which path to use to invoke gpg (which, for compatibility with pass, probably needs to be version 2).

The ability to specify which gpg binary to use (and to try to find gpg2 first in the default case) has been added as an option, and released in v2.0.498
