The idea with this change is that under Windows we can install a
simple native Windows pinentry as "pinentry-basic" and a full GUI
version may then later install pinentry-gtk etc which would then
automatically be used.

Unfortunately installing another pinentry from a different package
would clobber the GnuPG core directory which is not nice.  To fix that
we would need to agree on standard installation directories for GUIs
to also look there.

Use program @var{filename} as the PIN entry. The default is
installation dependent. With the default configuration the name of
the default pinentry is @file{pinentry}; if that file does not exist
but a @file{pinentry-basic} exist the latter is used.
