Description
It would be great to be able to do this:
$ sops -r --add-pgp keybase:joemiller example.yaml
The GPG key for keybase.io user 'joemiller' would be fetched via HTTPS from https://keybase.io/joemiller/pgp_keys.asc

Research direction
Start with the sops CLI path handling --add-pgp, then review how the existing command accepts PGP keys. The implementation should fetch https://keybase.io/<user>/pgp_keys.asc over HTTPS for a keybase:<user> value and use it for example.yaml; verify the command succeeds and handles fetch failures safely.
