How about auto-agentizing non-primary remote servers as well?

Perhaps we should wait longer to see if agentizing causes problems
though, I think we have one bug that may be caused by it now (the
daemon not working correctly).  I have always agentized all remote
servers for a long time, and haven't seen anything weird.

Hm, my servers file looks like:

("nntp:quimby.gnus.org" "nntp:news.uslinuxtraining.com" "nnimap:yxa" nil)

where did the nil come from?  Maybe the code should fall back to using
fully qualified servers if it cannot be "collapsed" into a smaller
one.  I think the nil entry was a server that no longer exists, or a
server that still exists but used different parameters, or something
like that.
