Description

As a user, I can specify a gpg_cmd option in the plugin's distributor config, which will override the plugin config.

This has security implications, since it allows a potentially malicious user to execute commands remotely on the pulp server as user apache.

The fix is not entirely straightforward. I think one would want a per-config-type allowed options.

gpg_cmd is not allowed as plugin or override configuration

Since the command configured with gpg_cmd executes remotely as user apache, a user should not be allowed to change it via a distributor config or an override at publish time.
