Jorijn van der Graaf 905e261d63 Package the daemon, so a fingerprint survives a reflash
An aport, the units, and everything a phone needs to come up with a working
sensor without a single command being run by hand. Verified on the dev phone
across two reboots: modules-load.d loads qcomtee, tmpfiles builds the SFS
root, the mount unit brings up persist, and the daemon is ready 51 seconds
into the boot, owning net.reactivated.Fprint with the enrolled finger
visible.

The packaging shape is the one imsd uses for 81voltd. A versioned
provides="fprintd=..." satisfies plasma-workspace -- its Users KCM is the
enrolment UI and speaks exactly this bus name -- and excludes the real
fprintd, which is not tidiness: fprintd is D-Bus-activatable, so a client
call would otherwise start it and fight us for the name. The cost is the
fprintd-* CLIs, which go with the package.

fprintd-pam is an install_if subpackage pinned to the exact fprintd version,
so the provides breaks its condition and apk purges it -- taking pam_fprintd,
which is the entire point of the daemon, with it. Depending on it explicitly
is what keeps it, and it has no dependency on fprintd itself.

Two things the packaging exposed in the daemon:

The transcript is for experiments, not for a shipped daemon. A file per start
in an unrotated directory, recording the time of every unlock, to say what
the journal already has. It is now opt-in behind --log-dir, which is what
deploy-dev.sh passes since fplearn.sh reads it.

Taking it off the daemon path also took away the setvbuf it was doing as a
side effect of dup2'ing fd 1, and under systemd stdout is a pipe, which means
full buffering: the daemon started, worked, answered D-Bus calls, and printed
nothing. A working daemon that looks hung. stdout is now line-buffered from
the first line of main.

The config ships as generated by fp6fpcfg.py --daemon --verbose, sha256
b205c756914a66f1, because that is the file every accuracy number was measured
on. The quieter variant is untested and switching is a measurement.

The trustlet is not here and never will be: focal64.mbn is a proprietary
OEM-signed blob, and the unit's ConditionPathExists is what keeps the package
inert without it -- as it does on a kernel with no CONFIG_QCOMTEE.

fingerprintd owns net.reactivated.Fprint, which excludes the fprintd
package and the actions file it ships. These are the same three action
ids with the same defaults, so a client that consults them — or a site
that has already written rules against them — sees no change.
NOT YET ENFORCED. The daemon currently authorizes by caller uid: a
client may act on its own prints and no other user's. That is stricter
than allow_active=yes for verify and LOOSER than auth_self_keep for
enroll, which asks the user to re-authenticate first. Enforcing these
needs a polkit agent to be reachable, and the FP6 does not have a
working session UI yet, so it would today block enrolment on the one
device that can test it. Tracked in the fp6 journal's fingerprint lane.
