agent: Ignore passphrase constraints for a generated passphrase.

Description

agent: Ignore passphrase constraints for a generated passphrase.

* agent/agent.h (PINENTRY_STATUS_PASSWORD_GENERATED): New.
(MAX_GENPIN_TRIES): Remove.
* agent/call-pinentry.c (struct entry_parm_s):
(struct inq_cb_parm_s): Add genpinhash and genpinhas_valid.
(is_generated_pin): New.
(inq_cb): Suppress constraints checking for a generated passphrase.
No more need for several tries to generate the passphrase.
(do_getpin): Store a generated passphrase/pin in the status field.
(agent_askpin): Suppress constraints checking for a generated
passphrase.
(agent_get_passphrase): Ditto.
* agent/command.c (cmd_get_passphrase): Ditto.

A generated passphrase has enough entropy so that all kind of extra
checks would only reduce the actual available entropy. We thus detect
if a passphrase has been generated (and not changed) and skip all
passphrase constraints checking.
