Implement fingerprint commands #1

I'm currently working on a pam module written in Rust separate from libfprint. It currently calls the ectool CLI. It would be better to directly use this library instead.

Does that PAM module integrate nicely into desktops (does it say to press your finger to unlock?)

I didn't get it to work with the KDE lock screen. I haven't tried it with gnome yet.

Update: Plasma 6 now properly supports logging in with either password or fingerprint. I am able to unlock the Plasma 6 lock screen with my pam module. The only issue is that the lock screen doesn't run the pam module as root, so somehow the user (in my case test) needs to access cros_fp without being root. But it should be fine.

Update: GNOME seems to be ignoring gdm-fingerprint. Maybe GNOME only uses it if it knows there is a fingerprint enrolled with libfprint. Maybe something like https://github.com/uunicorn/open-fprintd can be used.
