Killing gpg-agent fixes the keyboxd version mismatch warning

Sometimes after a GPG update, gopass starts printing this before doing anything:

gpg: WARNING: server 'keyboxd' is older than us (2.4.6 < 2.4.7).

The running keyboxd daemon is from the old version and GPG is now newer. This messes up things that talk to GPG indirectly — like the Raycast gopass extension, which just breaks silently.

The fix is just to kill all the GPG daemons so they restart with the new version:

gpgconf --kill all

Next time you run something that needs GPG, the daemons come back up fresh and the warning goes away.
