M5b plan: task 04, PGP private key blocks too

The private-key rule also refuses a line that starts `-----BEGIN` and
ends `PRIVATE KEY BLOCK-----`, OpenPGP's armor header (RFC 9580
section 6.2.1; RFC 4880 section 6.2). The two endings are a given
table, PRIVATE_KEY_ENDS; the skeleton's private_key comment names it.
A PGP private key block joins the attack corpus, a PGP public key
block and a signature the code-work corpus, and the edge test gains an
indented PGP header (refused), a PGP public header and a PGP header
without its closing dashes (both pass).

Checks: the reference passes the gate on titan, 997 tests (unchanged:
the cases are inside existing tests), /tmp unchanged around the run;
the task's edits applied to a fresh ref-03 copy are byte-identical to
the reference; 8 private-key mutations, 4 of them new for PGP, all
caught; tag and private-key-header greps over the task and given files
are empty; given files pass rustfmt and the 500-line limit.
