pcsc: guide by PolicyKit actions, not a pcscd group
A headless/SSH box can show a world-writable /run/pcscd/pcscd.comm (srw-rw-rw- root root) and still be denied: pcscd enforces its PolicyKit policy, whose defaults allow only active local sessions. The startup report, the start.sh pre-flight and the README troubleshooting now name the exact rule (99-pcscd-allow.rules, org.debian.pcsc-lite.access_pcsc and access_card) and explain why the socket mode does not matter. The pcscd-group instruction is gone: there may be no such group, and it is not the gate. The group route stays only as a note for a pcscd built without PolicyKit. Tests: tests/test_pcsc_startup.py asserts the polkit action IDs, the rule filename and the 0666-socket explanation. 1088 Python + 1075 frontend.
