Switch to BiometricPrompt API instead of FingerprintManager #153

Reassess the underlying APIs used to for Biometrics support in Lockwise.

For the initial launch, Lockbox is using the FingerprintManager API. However, SDK 28 deprecated this API to be replaced with BiometricPrompt. The platforms the initial launch will support and be tested on is not impacted by this decision, but it could have long term implications.

This also prevents issue #482 from being closed

Any news on this one? With more phones using Face ID like biometrics (with no fingerprint scanner - like Pixel 4) it will be harder to use Lockwise.
