When the output of decrypting with a wrong key coincidentally resembled an OpenPGP packet header, pgcrypto could instead report "Corrupt data", "Not text data" or "Unsupported compression algorithm". The distinct "Corrupt data" message added no value. The latter two error messages misled when the decrypted payload also exhibited fundamental integrity problems. Worse, error message variance in other systems has enabled cryptologic attacks; see RFC 4880 section "14. Security Considerations". Whether these pgcrypto behaviors are likewise exploitable is unknown. In passing, document that pgcrypto does not resist side-channel attacks. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).

pgcrypto: Report errant decryption as "Wrong key or corrupt data".

This has been the predominant outcome.  When the output of decrypting
with a wrong key coincidentally resembled an OpenPGP packet header,
pgcrypto could instead report "Corrupt data", "Not text data" or
"Unsupported compression algorithm".  The distinct "Corrupt data"
message added no value.  The latter two error messages misled when the
decrypted payload also exhibited fundamental integrity problems.  Worse,
error message variance in other systems has enabled cryptologic attacks;
see RFC 4880 section "14. Security Considerations".  Whether these
pgcrypto behaviors are likewise exploitable is unknown.

In passing, document that pgcrypto does not resist side-channel attacks.
Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).

Loop when necessary in contrib/pgcrypto's pktreader_pull().

This fixes a scenario in which pgp_sym_decrypt() failed with "Wrong key
or corrupt data" on messages whose length is 6 less than a power of 2.

Per bug #11905 from Connor Penhale.  Fix by Marko Tiikkaja, regression
test case from Jeff Janes.
