"Introduce system_key_link(), a new function..."

I hate when the exact thing added is not immediately transparent from
the commit message ;-) Helps a lot when bisecting for instance.

Really could use some overview keyrings traversed just as a reminder.

Why not simply make secondary_trusted_keys in the first place be alias
to builtin_trusted_keys when it is not enabled?

"link:"?

Then you could see already from goto statement what will happen next
(your call anyway).
