Subject: [PATCH] Fixed PIN authentication bypass

If two processes are accessing a token, then one process may leave the
card usable with an authenticated PIN so that a key may sign/decrypt any
data. This is especially the case if the token does not support a way of
resetting the authentication status (logout).

We have some tracking of the authentication status in software via
PKCS#11, Minidriver (os-wise) and CryptoTokenKit, which is why a
PIN-prompt will appear even though the card may technically be unlocked
as described in the above example. However, before this change, an empty
PIN was not verified (likely yielding an error during PIN-verification),
but it was just checked whether the PIN is authenticated. This defeats
the purpose of the PIN verification, because an empty PIN is not the
correct one. Especially during OS Logon, we don't want that kind of
shortcut, but we want the user to verify the correct PIN (even though
the token was left unattended and authentication at the computer).

This essentially reverts commit e6f7373ef066cfab6e3162e8b5f692683db23864.
