glep-0063: Update and unify expiration term
Replace the disjoint 'minimum' and 'recommendation' for expiration with a single requirement. Make it 2.5 years with recommended annual renewal to a fixed day of the year (2 years + some grace time for renewal). Also, remove disjoint expiration recommendation for the primary key and subkeys since many developers fail at implementing that anyway.
