Add ECDSA support, via updated OpenSC pkcs11 engine.
This works on Debian Jessie (8.8) with the jessie-backports version of
libengine-pkcs11-openssl:
cryptech-alpha 3.0.1496536286
libengine-pkcs11-openssl 0.4.3-1~bpo8+1
opensc 0.14.0-2
openssl 1.0.1t-1+deb8u6
Version dependencies between OpenSSL and OpenSC are an even worse
swamp than usual at the moment, due to API changes in OpenSSL 1.1, so
it's anybody's guess whether this works on any other platform. YMMV.
