gpg-agent unable to see yubikey until manually re-running `gpg --card-status`

[Lance R. Vick]

I only ever tried this on 2.0.0 as far as older versions go, and that was
similarly broken. I didn't bother documenting as I saw there were some
smartcard updates in 2.1.4 so I upgraded.

Just now had another variation (on 2.1.4):

1. start gpg-agent
2. populate SSH_AUTH_SOCK
3. ssh successfully
4. remove yubikey
5. insert yubikey
6. attempt to ssh -> "Permission Denied (Publickey)"
7. `gpg --card status` -> "no card present"
8. `gpg --card status` (again) -> Got usual card output
9. ssh successfully again
