[issue51] pinentry/gpg-agent initial passphrase acquisition suboptimal

[Marc Mutz]

New submission from Marc Mutz <marc at klaralvdalens-datakonsult.se>:

When creating a new certificate, one is prompted to type in the passphrase two 
times. So far so good. 
Type "1234", retype "2345". 
-> pinentry come up a third time with the message "try (2/3)". 
 -> type "2345" 
  -> fails 
   -> type "1234" 
    -> succeeds 
pinentry/gpg-agent shouldn't assume that the typo is in the retyped version. 
Instead it should forget whatever was entered in the first type/retype round 
and start anew. And not bail out after three rounds. :)
