[Request] Add --force flag to deleteSeed #5

I have a locked gridplus card (did it intentionally) and I got the card reader in order to 'reset' the card and be able to use it.

However, the deleteSeed functionality requires the card to be unlocked with the PIN, which in my card's case is no longer possible as it self-locked.

Looking at the code, there is an explicit check for verifying the PIN. Can we get a version of this command --force that removes the check?

I've done some digging into this, when I tried to just remove the PIN check and such from the code, reasoning that it wasn't needed.

However, after try a lot of other tools on the card, it seems that, in order to completely re-initialize a card, some sort of card key that only the supplier/card vendor knows is required.

I'm guessing that there's no way GridPlus is going to disclose that secret, for obvious reasons, but I wanted to be sure. Am I understanding this correctly?
