Always revoke subkeys with a revocation signature.
Unlike UID revocations which are "reversible" by newer UID
self-signatures, a subkey revocation should be "permanent" even if
followed by a newer self-signature.
The RFC is ambiguous on this, but this is the convention used by (e.g.)
GnuPG. The rationale for this behaviour is available as comments within
the GnuPG source.
