[PATCH 2/2] gpg-interface: avoid buffer overrun in parse_ssh_output()

From

If the string "key" we found in the output of ssh-keygen happens to be located at the very end of the line, then going four characters further leaves us beyond the end of the string. Explicitly search for the space after "key" to handle a missing one gracefully.
