Calling functions for gpg_verify_tag() may desire to print relevant
information about the header for further verification. Add an optional
format argument to print any desired information after GPG verification.

Hrm. Maybe I am missing something, but what does:

  verify_and_format_tag(sha1, name, fmt, flags);

get you over:

  gpg_verify_tag(sha1, name, flags);
  pretty_print_ref(name, sha1, fmt);

? The latter seems much more flexible, and I do not see how the
verification step impacts the printing at all (or vice versa).

I could understand it more if there were patches later in the series
that somehow used the format and verification results together. But I
didn't see that.
