Clear cached PIN entry as part of pin set command
When a PIN is changed using the pin set command, the last action is to confirm the operation with the previously used PIN. This step will cause this PIN, which is now stale and no longer valid, to be cached, which in turn can cause follow up command using the same PIN type to use this wrong cached entry for authentication. To fix this problem, this change explicitly clear the PIN entry from the cache after the PIN has been changed.
