Remove support for the GPG_AGENT_INFO envvar.
* agent/agent.h (opt): Remove field use_standard_socket. * agent/command.c (cmd_killagent): Always allow killing. * agent/gpg-agent.c (main): Turn --{no,}use-standard-socket and --write-env-file into dummy options. Always return true for --use-standard-socket-p. Do not print the GPG_AGENT_INFO envvar setting or set that envvar. (create_socket_name): Simplify by removing non standard socket support. (check_for_running_agent): Ditto. * common/asshelp.c (start_new_gpg_agent): Remove GPG_AGENT_INFO use. * common/simple-pwquery.c (agent_open): Ditto. * configure.ac (GPG_AGENT_INFO_NAME): Remove. * g10/server.c (gpg_server): Do not print the AgentInfo comment. * g13/server.c (g13_server): Ditto. * sm/server.c (gpgsm_server): Ditto. * tools/gpgconf.c (main): Simplify by removing non standard socket support. -- The indented fix to allow using a different socket than the one in the gnupg home directory is to change Libassuan to check whether the socket files exists as a regualr file with a special keyword to redirect to another socket file name.
