Add and use local keyring for verification of apt data.

A transition is being made from signing with the dsa1024 'Archive'
signing key below to the newer rsa4096 Archive key.
In zesty, the package installed keyring no longer contains the
older keys.

Without this, if running on zesty, then mfdiff will fail to download
changelogs (using apt.cache), as it will not trust the data.

The solution here is to check in the gpg keyring that was provided
by the Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) package ubuntu-keyring, and to use that
for verification.

$ gpg keyring.gpg
