[encryption] How to Export Private / Secret ASC Key to Decrypt GPG Files

Similar to @Wolfram J's answer, here is a method to encrypt your private key with a passphrase:

gpg --output - --armor --export $KEYID | \
    gpg --output private_key.asc --armor --symmetric --cipher-algo AES256

And a corresponding method to decrypt:

gpg private_key.asc
