The main use case for gpg-ssh-agent is to use authentication subkeys in
OpenPGP keys as SSH keys, but I do not think gcr-ssh-agent currently
supports that functionality. (Perhaps it might do so in a future
version?) So it is unfortunate that gcr-ssh-agent.socket hijacks the
SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable set by gpg-ssh-agent.socket.
