changelog: fold the unreleased 3.32.3 entry into 3.32.4

The v3.32.3 changes (the traceback tail and the link-release wording)
were committed together with v3.32.4 and never tagged separately, so
the changelog named a version no release exists for.  The entry is
merged into [3.32.4] and the published v3.32.4 release body matches it.

+- A card removed during the **startup initialization** no longer leaves the server
+  reporting a phantom equipped card.  The init caught the PC/SC error (and printed a
+  traceback) but kept the card object it had already built, so `card_present` and
+  `_CARD_CONNECTED` stayed True — and the auto-equip then skipped every later insertion
+  (its `_CARD_CONNECTED` early return), leaving only a manual Equip or a restart.  A
+  PC/SC error now prints one line (`INIT: card removed during initialization …`), drops
+  the half-initialized session and lets the presence monitor equip the next card.
