Obnam should detect whether encryption is used, and whether a suitable key
is available, when reading an encrypted repository. For writing anything,
the encryption key to use should be selected with `--encrypt-with`, but
for read-only, if a key is available, it should be used, regardless of
the whether `--encrypt-with` has been set or if it has been, what key it
has been set to.

Suggested by Damien Couroussé.
