Ok.

Please let your eyes rest in particular on lines 310 and following of
test/lisp/plstore-tests.el, where I have tried to detect and avoid
hangs related to GnuPG 2.4.*.

I have executed the new tests on GNU/Linux only, since that is the only
platform I have available.  Should I take extra steps to get these tests
executed on other platforms than GNU/Linux *before* you commit them?  If
yes, which steps?

The rest of the tests should be more or less standard.  Except
probably for the fact that there is still much infrastructure and few
actual tests, but I plan to change that.

Thanks.
