I'm not sure if this is correct.
This makes always use the first subkey. What if there's multiple subkeys, ale there's one that is valid, and it's not the first from the list?

In the case where a secret key was used only to sign and a secret subkey was then used to encrypt only, this function wasn't finding any keys to encrypt.
Similarly to how it is assumed on line 322, I changed the code to assume a secret subkey is always capable.
