agent: Enable restricted, browser, and ssh socket by default.

Browse source 
* 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.

The extra socket is always created, you may use this option to change
the name of the socket.
Also listen on native gpg-agent connections on the given socket. The
intended use for this extra socket is to setup a Unix domain socket
forwarding from a remote machine to this socket on the local machine.

In this mode of operation, the agent does not only implement the
