Update nitrokey crate to 0.4.0
This change finally updates the version of the nitrokey crate that we
consume to 0.4.0. Along with that we update rand_core, one of its
dependencies, to 0.5.1. Further more we add cfg-if in version 0.1.10 and
getrandom in version 0.1.13, both of which are now new (non-development)
dependencies.
