WSL2: Gpg4win pinentry not available after PIN cache expires

So you are mixing Unix software with Windows software.  I wonder that
this works at all.  The properties of the IPC between Windows and Unix
are different.  That IPC is not designed to work cross-platform.  The
Windows gpg-agent expects a Windows pinentry and vice versa.

Using the native Windows gpg from the WSL git should work because there
is a well defined interface between them.
