PC/SC based smart card backend

This crate provides PcscBackend and PcscTransaction, which are implementations of the CardBackend and CardTransactions traits from the card-backend crate.

This implementation uses the pcsc Rust wrapper crate to access OpenPGP cards.

Mainly intended for use with the openpgp-card library.
