Coolkey instances/slots. Mutliinstance/multislot support

Hi.

I'm using CoolKey to use ActivIDentity ActivKey SIM token in Linux.

There is a problem with it. It seems like CoolKey doesn't support more
than 3 PKI instances (so called "slots"). And it expects "CAC ID
Certificate" to be in the first (0th) slot/instance. If it isn't found
or empty, coolkey throws an exception.

A patch submitted here
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/coolkey/+bug/786682 and here
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=688837 aims to support
zero length certificates.

Newer versions of ActivClient client (software for Windows) decided to
use a different slot for certificate storage. (Information about
certificates can be found at "Help -> Troubleshooting"). ActiveKey SIM
supports up to 8 certificates.

I worked out a patch to support ActivKey with certificate installed in
the different slot
https://github.com/Vanuan/coolkey/commit/1d0d2357a7f6f148bef98dfa8835321e191de40a

It is dirty and I don't have an experience and knowledge required to
improve it. The confusion is in the readers/slots/instance concept.
What is the difference?

I welcome any suggestions. You can leave comments on github or here.

I'm looking forward to your feedback
