[Feature Request]: Fingerprint Authentication for Hyprlock

[YoussefAlkent]

Description

Hyprlock supports fingerprint authentication by default, which can be set via the auth category in the boilerplate config as follows

auth{
    fingerprint:enable = true
    fingerprint:ready_message="Scan fingerprint to unlock"  -> Will require modifying the hyprlock layouts
    fingerprint:present_message="Scanning fingerprint"  -> Will require modifying the hyprlock layouts
}

This will prevent the user of `pam_fprintd.so" for pam authentication, which disables password input, and will not require the extra "Enter key"

This might need a modification the layouts

Use Case

Plenty of Laptops use fingerprint scanner, This will allow seamless login from lockscreen.

@YoussefAlkent Hi! I don't have the luxury to test this one. My fingerprint sensor isnnot supported.

Feel free to open a PR

@kRHYME7 I plan to! I just need to get a good lockscreen style with the new fingerprint text areas, I already modified my config to use FP. Just wanted to see if there is any opposition, or any specific way this should be done

Does it require any other packages for authentication?

[kRHYME7]

I guess fprint.

@YoussefAlkent Could you please list down all the edits you did?
Like some setup guide to get fp scanner working...
