This function already exists with this name in MuscleCard API 1.3 and in
the APDU specification for the applet, if another name is crucial, e.g.
GET STATE, then this function can be renamed. Some naming suggestions?
Up till now this function returns the free memory, available memory,
protocol version, software version, logged IDs and used keys. If
somebody is programming with the MuscleCard API he can distinguish
between the meaning of one and the other.
