Fix: "start pcscd only when a reader is connected"
and "do not open the reader USB device if no client is using the reader"

Now that pcscd is auto started it will be started only if an appication
is using the PC/SC API. This is the case since release 1.6.0:
- SCardEstablishContext(): try to start the pcscd daemon if not already
  running.
  . pcscd will suicide itself after 60 seconds of inactivity if it is
  started using --auto-exit. This is the default behavior when pcscd is
  started by libpcsclite
  . Set PCSCLITE_PCSCD_ARGS with the argument you want to pass to pcscd in
  autostart Only one argument is passed. The space character is not a
  separator. example: export PCSCLITE_PCSCD_ARGS=-dfa

Fix: "start pcscd as an normal user daemon (as id smartcard?) instead as
root"

This is the case since release 1.6.5:
- Install pcscd as sgid pcscd instead of suid root

Fix: "use static driver instead of reader polling and dynamic driver
loading"

This is the case since release 1.6.0:
- Better handling of PCSCLITE_STATIC_DRIVER as can be used on platforms
  using <B5>Clinux (without dynamic loader).  This is used to statically
  link the reader driver to pcscd. Since the link is static you must
  define the IFDHandler API version at compilation time. Either define
  IFDHANDLERv1, IFDHANDLERv2 or IFDHANDLERv3

For embedded/constained systems

- remove as much text messages (logs) as possible to limit the size of
  the binaries (pcscd and libpcsclite)

- use static driver instead of reader polling and dynamic driver loading
