agent: Kludge to mitigate blocking calls in Libgcrypt.

* agent/gpg-agent.c (agent_libgcrypt_progress_cb): Sleep for 100ms on
"need_entropy".
--

During key generation Libgrypt will read from /dev/random which may
block.  Libgcrypt is not nPth aware and thus the entire process will
block.  Fortunately there is also a select with a short timeout to run
the progress callback.  We detect this in gpg-agent and introduce a
short delay to give other threads (i.e. connections) an opportunity to
run.

This alone is not sufficient, an updated Libgpg-error is also required
to make the lock functions nPth aware.
