Do not use the pinentry's qualitybar

Description

Do not use the pinentry's qualitybar

* agent/genkey.c (agent_ask_new_passphrase): No qualitybar.
* g10/call-agent.c (agent_get_passphrase): Ditto.
* sm/call-agent.c (gpgsm_agent_ask_passphrase): Ditto.

The concept of a passphrase quality indicator is anyway questionable
because user are smart enough to trick them out and they also tend to
limit the actually used entropy.

Except for the red/green switching (to show whether constraints are
fulfilled) our qualitybar is pretty bad and thus worse than none.
