[Bug 1675925] [NEW] gpg-agent service sets wrong SSH_AUTH_SOCK value

[André Colomb]

Public bug reported:

After upgrading from xenial to yakkety, I noticed that my SSH_AUTH_SOCK
environment variable pointed to $GNUPGHOME/S.gpg-agent.ssh, which is no
longer the correct location with the current gnupg 2.1 package.

After much investigation, it appears that the variable is set by upstart
in the /usr/share/upstart/sessions/gpg-agent.conf script. Attached patch
corrects this script to point to the new default location at
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/gnupg/.

The logic is shamelessly stolen from gnupg-agent's systemd user service
file, /usr/lib/systemd/user/gpg-agent.service, which is apparently not
used.
