Title: Fix length of discretionary data objects tag in application related data

Per the OpenPGP card specification (4.3.1 "DOs for GET DATA") and ISO 7816-4 (5.4.4.3 "Independent tag allocation schemes"), discretionary data objects in application related data must be nested within the 0x73 discretionary data objects tag. The current implementation almost does this; unfortunately, the discretionary data objects tag has a hard-coded length of 0, so when the objects themselves follow they are not nested:

This patch correctly sets the length of the discretionary data objects tag, bringing the behavior of the application in line with the spec:

While the gnupg desktop application seems to accept this DO whether the length is set correctly or not, the "official" cards available from Kernel Concepts do set the length properly, and this change brings the applet in line with the relevant specifications.
