scd: Reader specific initialization code (scd-work branch)

Hello,

I pushed the following changes to scd-work branch.

This is to add vendor specific custom initialization.

This kind of scheme is needed for a reader named Vega Alpha.

Vega Alpha has a feature that the reader examines retry counter by
itself and shows the number to the display when authentication is
requested by pinpad.  This would be great feature, but it doesn't work
for OpenPGP card, as OpenPGP card doesn't support assumed command
sequence (of VERIFY command with empty data).

We need to disable this feature at initialization time, to reliably
use pinpad authentication.
