[Bug 1633754] [NEW] dirmngr is used as daemon

[Sworddragon]

Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 16.10 with gnupg2 2.1.15-1ubuntu6 and for example if
I'm using apt-key to receive keys I'm noticing that dirmngr is started
and kept open after the task is done. If apt-key is used multiple times
even multiple times dirmngr is started while the old processes are still
open.
