dirmngr: Use a default keyserver if none is explicitly set

Browse source 
* configure.ac: Define DIRMNGR_DEFAULT_KEYSERVER.
* dirmngr/server.c (ensure_keyserver): Use it if no keyservers are set.
* doc/dirmngr.texi: Document this behavior.

--

A user who doesn't specify a keyserver, but asks gnupg to fetch a key
currently just gets a simple error messages "No keyserver available".

If the user is asking to contact a keyserver, we should have a
reasonable default, and not require them to fiddle with settings when
they might not know what settings to choose.  This patch makes the
default hkps://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net.
