patch for secure PIN entry

Folks,

Find below a minor patch to allow the use of smartcards in readers that
have their own
PIN entry keypads (Secure PIN entry) such as the SPR332 and most
german/medical
chipcard devices.

Tested on Solaris, FreeBSD and MacOSX against various cards and
drivers.

I’ve left the pkcs11_interactive check in place. Arguably - with some
Secure PIN readers
it may be better to move this just in front of the keyboard entry ONLY;
as there are some
secure PIN keypads that use means which are somewhat suitable to
unattended 
operation. But I thought it better to let this wait until an actual use
case warrants this
and/or the need for a special flag/argument to control such.

Thanks,

Dw.
