Add --terminate-after-idle to gpg-agent
Open, NormalPublic

Description

As part of a discussion on how to ternminate gpg-agent at logout, dkg proposed
this:

  I'm assuming this would be a new configuration option for gpg-agent.
  Maybe --terminate-after-idle ?  What should it default to?  I can send
  patches for this feature if you want it.  the other question is what
  counts as "idle" -- it's not just that nothing is in the cache, right?
  might also want to count commands like PUTVAL as a timer reset...

which we should eventally implement.
