Verifying a non-detached, non-clearsign signature should print content #212
Description
If I pass a non-detached, non-clearsign signature to keybase verify, it checks the signature for me but does not tell me the content.
It appears that Keybase inherits GPG's tradition of calling this operation "decrypt", even though the content is not actually encrypted. The keybase decrypt command does what I want. Unfortunately, though, this command refuses to operate if my private key is not present, even though my private key should not be needed to verify a signature. It's also unintuitive to use "decrypt" for this -- every time I tell someone to use it for signature verification, they get confused and ask me if I meant "verify". Therefore it seems best for keybase verify to print the content, or provide a switch to print it.
