Build object files needed by libsk-libfido2.so

You may want to add -flto or other flags in CFLAGS:

1. make libssh.a CFLAGS="-O2 -fPIC"
2. make openbsd-compat/libopenbsd-compat.a CFLAGS="-O2 -fPIC"
3. make sk-usbhid.o CFLAGS="-O2 -DSK_STANDALONE -fPIC"

Link object files and generate libsk-libfido2.so

1. Export LDFLAGS, LIBFIDO2 and CC from previous generated Makefile;
2. echo $LIBFIDO2 | xargs ${CC} -shared openbsd-compat/libopenbsd-compat.a sk-usbhid.o libssh.a -O2 -fPIC -o libsk-libfido2.so. You may want to append other flags (for example, -Wl,-dead_strip,-exported_symbol,_sk_\* in macOS).

Don't forget to copy libsk-libfido2.so into /usr/local/lib.
