hi all--

819bba75aaed11ecef2e274add173718358212b9

changes the component name of dirmngr from "Directory Manager" to
"Network Manager".

"Network Manager" is already used by a widely known project:

 https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/NetworkManager

I think it may confuse users to think that GnuPG might be talking to the
Network Manager daemon, when actually it's talking to its own dirmngr.

How about "Directory Network Access" or "Network Access Manager" or
something like that instead?

          --dkg
