Since plstore-encrypt-to is marked as permanent local, I think users
don't want to set it with M-x customize.

plstore-encrypt-to is supposed to be set through file variable and the
above check is for the case where plstore-encrypt-to is set to nil.

For example, if plstore-select-keys is nil and a file begins with:

;; plstore-encrypt-to: nil

it will skip epa-select-keys dialog and use symmetric encryption.  If
there is no such line, it will open the dialog with default recipients
(if any) selected.  I agree with that the documentation is a bit
misleading though.
