[PATCH] scd: PC/SC reader selection by partial string match.

Hello,

I'm going to push following patch to GnuPG 2.1.x.  This fix is
related to the issue 1618 and 1930.

    https://bugs.gnupg.org/gnupg/issue1618
    https://bugs.gnupg.org/gnupg/issue1930

For 1930, I put a patch for 2.0.x in the bug tracker, but I haven't
got response from the reporter.  As I tested with GnuPG 2.1.x, this
patch is now for 2.1.x.  I plan to backport to 2.0 (use the one in
issue1930), soon.

The card reader name by PC/SC service might include USB bus, which
varies (on some platform like GNU/Linux).  Thus, it's better to match
partial string.

Original patch was submitted by anstein in 1930.  I changed it to
fallback to the first reader if no match found.

Note that we need to change pcsc-wrapper.c in 2.0 backport.

It works for me with pcscd and libccid on GNU/Linux.  The readers
are VASCO DIGIKEY 920 and Gnuk Token.
