agent: Enable restricted, browser, and ssh socket by default.
* agent/gpg-agent.c (main): Provide defaults for 'extra-socket' and
'browser-socket', enable ssh socket by default, but do not emit the
'SSH_AUTH_SOCK' variable unless it has been explicitly requested.
* configure.ac (GPG_AGENT_{EXTRA,BROWSER}_SOCK_NAME): New definitions.
* doc/gpg-agent.texi: Update documentation.
--
This change enables the restricted, browser, and ssh socket by
default. Note that in all cases, the user has to do some additional
configuration to her setup to make use of these features. Therefore,
this should not break any existing setups, but makes it simpler to
discover and use these features.
