    api: Remove arbitrary restriction from gpgme_op_verify.
    
    * src/verify.c (verify_start): Do not return GPG_ERR_INV_VALUES when
    when SIGNED_TEXT is not given.

    The original idea behind this restriction probably was that it is
    useless to verify a non-detached signatures without also returning the
    signed text.  However, it is sometimes useful to just check the
    signature, for example to see who signed it.
