Add mention for usage over SSH.

Using GPG integration with pinentry over ssh prevents entry of
passphrases. Current version of aerc retains control of TTY over
pinetry. Forwarding the gpg-agent will enable a workflow for users
of aerc over SSH.

## Using `aerc` with GnuPG over SSH

If you've tried to integrate GnuPG with aerc over SSH, you might have
encountered an issue where pinentry fails to function properly. This occurs
because pinentry lacks control over the tty while aerc maintains control.

For guidance on resolving this, you may find assistance in the following
Arch Linux wiki page: [Forwarding gpg-agent and ssh-agent to remote][arch].
