API < 23? #46

Any chances of adding support for previous version of Android than those with API level 23?

I'm asking because it seems there is a support library with the FingerprintManager class, although I haven't tried it myself.

I was able to build and run the app on Android 4.0.3 (API 15) on the emulator using the support libraries, it needs testing though to see if everything run smoothly.

@rraallvv we don't support lower versions (and will never do) due to the security level needed for an SPV wallet provided in 23+ since we're storing the private key locally. Thanks for asking.
