Different sources for public key and private key #709

Hello,

tldr: Request to support loading the public key from URL and private key from file.

I am using a key that frequently expires. Updating the key in the app is always a hassle because the private key must be protected. However, the private key does not need to be updated to extend the key validity**(as far as I understand). I would like to be able to download and update the public key from a public source (URL or keyserver), and still load the private key from a local source (load from file).

**the private key is needed to extend (change) the key. But if the remote key already has been extended, then only the public key needs to be fetched to update the local key (the private key does not expire).

Would this be possible?
