Description

agent, dirmngr, scd: npth_init must be after fork.

* agent/gpg-agent.c (thread_init_once, initialize_modules): New.
(main): Make sure no daemonizing-fork call after npth_init, and no npth
calls before npth_init, with care of npth calls by assuan hooks.
* dirmngr/dirmngr.c (thread_init): New.
(main): Make sure npth_init must not be called before daemonizing fork.
* scd/scdaemon.c (main): Likewise.

It is simply the best for nPth not to allow the daemonizing fork after
npth_init, because semantics and implementations of forked child process
in a threaded application is a difficult corner case.
