Description
When using a PGP key with Curve 25519, `keybase pgp select` doesn't understand the algorithm used:
```
# Algo Key Id Created UserId
= ==== ====== ======= ======
1 256? 48C3864071BCFD87 April King ...
2 4096R 7EBC09CB4C427581 keybase.io/april ...
```

Research direction
Start by reproducing `keybase pgp select` with a Curve 25519 key and trace how the command identifies and displays the algorithm. Done means the selection output recognizes Curve 25519 instead of showing `256?`, while preserving the existing behavior for other keys.
