In many cases, the tests look like

. lib-gpg.sh

test_expect_success 'test that does not use GPG' '
        ...
'

test_expect_success GPG 'test that does use GPG' '
        ...
'

so you can't decide in lib-gpg.sh that you'll skip all tests, because
you would skip some tests that could be ran without gpg.
