Benjamin Berg 66e7df1105 Keep alive fprintd if any device is WARM or HOT
This renames the internal "in-use" property to "busy" and redefines the
value to be TRUE either if a client is connected or if the device is
considered WARM or HOT.

This prevents fprintd shutdown while devices are warm in order to ensure
that the libfprint hardware protection is functional.

API use cases
=============

- User wants to use the fingerprint reader, and enroll
  his fingerprints, or remove some fingerprints from the database

- Administrator wants to enroll fingerprints for a particular user,
  or remove fingerprints for a particular user

- Laptop/desktop authentication:
  * Check for fingerprint devices
  * Check whether a particular user has any fingerprints enrolled
  * Verify a fingerprint for a particular user, or, if the device
  supports it, verify that the fingerprint matches against
  any of the fingerprints enrolled

- Point Of Sale authentication (in a bar, the fingerprint reader is
  used to see who accesses a particular point of sale/till, in place
  of PIN code authentication and/or tokens)
  * Given a list of users, verify which one has scanned their finger

Debugging
=========

To enable debug output run `systemctl edit fprintd.service` then enter:
```
[Service]
Environment=G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all
```
Save the result and restart fprintd using `systemctl restart fprintd.service`.

After that, you can grab the logs using `journalctl -u fprintd.service`.
