[PATCH v2] dirmngr: Clarify deprecation of --daemon without --homedir.

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

* doc/dirmngr.texi: Clarify that --daemon is only deprecated without
--homedir.

--

The existing documentation claims that dirmngr --daemon is deprecated.

But "gpgconf --launch dirmngr" and "gpg-connect-agent --dirmngr" (the
two documented ways to reliably start dirmngr) both spawn dirmngr
using a --daemon argument.

I believe what's actually deprecated is --daemon *without* --homedir.

This patch attempts to clarify the documentation.
