RFID shared elements

Common elements of all RFID and NFC readers like the type of cards 14443 Type A, Type B, Innovision Jewel.

This contains as well an absctract class that has to be implemented by readers to have a transparent way of managing Mifare cards and other high level cards.

/// <summary>
/// Abstract class implementing a specific Write and Read function
/// This class has to be implemented in all RFID/NFC readers
/// So Mifare cards can be used the same way independant of any reader
/// </summary>
public abstract class RfidWriteRead
{
    /// <summary>
    /// This function has to be implemented by all NFC/RFID readers. This function is used in exchange of data with
