#518: clients can not autospawn the daemon

Component:  daemon   |    Severity:  normal

 running 0.9.14.
 If the daemon dies or gets shutdown by something like restarting the
 alsasound service, then when clients attempt to connect the autospawn
 fails in the case that the xprop "PULSE_SERVER" is set

 1. kill or stop the daemon, then run paplay
 2. in pa_context_connect the autospawn appears to be controlled by the
 c->do_autospawn var, but that variable is only set to true in a block of
 code that is not entered if the c->conf->default_server is set
 3. the default_server variable is set earlier in pa_client_conf_from_x11
 via the PULSE_SERVER property query.
 4. so the autospawn is not attempted and clients fail to connect.
