Description
As of Keybase version 1.0.0-47, almost all of the PGP commands require an explicit `-i` or `--infile` option.
The one exception is `keybase pgp sign`, which still uses the `[command options] [filename]` format for its input, and does not accept an infile option.
Although not a bug, this inconsistency in the CLI is a bit confusing.

Research direction
Start at the `keybase pgp sign` CLI entry point and compare its argument handling with the other PGP commands that accept `-i` or `--infile`. The work is done when signing accepts `--infile` consistently while preserving the existing filename behavior as appropriate, with the relevant CLI checks passing.
