[arch-general] gnupg, dirmngr and sockets

There is no _system gnupg directory_.
pacman uses its own instance for package verification and usually
there's no need to ever fiddle with that (and in that case, use
'pacman-key').

I also never had a /root/.gnupg, no idea what you did there.

Most problems with keyserver operations are due to the fact that Arch
upgraded from GnuPG 2.0 to 2.1 at some point and many people (me
included) never got the memo about dirmngr.conf.
