Tony Arcieri ebbf043bc9 Rewrite translated code to use the pcsc crate
This commit contains a "big bang" refactor/rewrite which does the
following:

- Replaces all `SCard*` FFI calls with the `pcsc` crate, which provides
  a safe, portable PC/SC API across Windows, macOS, and Linux
- Refactors the `util` module into modules representing the various
  device functions and concepts, e.g. `certificate`, `key`, `mgm`
- Replaces all usage of `libc` with `std` functionality, and in many
  places rewriting functionality to use safe code.
- Removes `ykpiv_` from all function names, and `Piv*` from type names.

In 20/20 hindsight I wish I had done this commit more incrementally so
as to make it easier to review. Que sera sera.

However, realistically we need to test all functionality on the device
to ensure that it actually works. Going forward I would like to put
pretty much all of the current code behind an `untested` cargo feature,
and then remove it for each bit of functionality we test.

Pure Rust host-side YubiKey [Personal Identity Verification (PIV)][1] driver
with general-purpose public-key encryption and signing support.
[Documentation][docs-link]
## About
YubiKeys are versatile devices and through their PIV support, you can use them
to store a number of RSA (2048/1024) and ECC (NIST P-256/P-384) private keys
with configurable access control policies. Both the signing (RSASSA/ECDSA) and
encryption (PKCS#1v1.5/ECIES) use cases are supported for either key type.
See [Yubico's guide to PIV-enabled YubiKeys][2] for more information
on which devices support PIV and the available functionality.
If you've been wanting to use Rust to sign and/or encrypt stuff using a
private key generated and stored on a Yubikey (with option PIN-based access),
this is the crate you've been after!
One small problem, it's not done yet... 😫
But it might be close?
## History
This library is a Rust translation of the [yubico-piv-tool][3] utility by
Yubico, which was originally written in C. It was mechanically translated
from C into Rust using [Corrode][4], and then subsequently heavily
refactored into safer, more idiomatic Rust§.
Note that while this project started as a fork of a [Yubico][5] project,
this fork is **NOT** an official Yubico project and is in no way supported or
endorsed by Yubico.
§ *NOTE*: This section is actually full of lies and notes aspirations/goals,
not history. That said, there's been a decent amount of work cleaning up the
mechanically translated code, and at ~5klocs it's not that much.
## Security Warning
No security audits of this crate have ever been performed, and it has not been
thoroughly assessed to ensure its operation is constant-time on common CPU
architectures.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
## Requirements
- Rust 1.39+
