It was added in root-packages since accessing usb smartcards at that time required root. These days it is somewhat possible without root thanks to termux-usb, and we are hoping to improve usb support in the future. Move libpcsclite to the main repo to simplify experimentation.
opensc is a useful package when dealing cryptographic smartcards(/usb devices).

Also move libpcsclite to main repo. We added it to root-packages since only way to access usb devices was with root, but this days it is somewhat doable without root with the termux-api method termux-usb.
We are hoping to improve usb-support over the coming weeks, so let's move libpcsclite to main repo to simplify testing.
