Marco Trevisan (Treviño) 0994cc314e main: Ensure that a gcov flush happens on SIGTERM
When coverage is enabled fprintd test won't generate any .gcda file and so
apparently no data, this happens because gcov doesn't handle properly the
process termination when SIGTERM is used, and so when in fprintd.py we
terminate the process no coverage data is reported.

To avoid this, quit the main loop cleanly on SIGTERM, so that we will exit
from the main function cleanly, making libc to perform a gcov flush when we
exit the program.

fprintd
=======

https://fprint.freedesktop.org/

Daemon to offer libfprint functionality over D-Bus
Might eat your kangaroo.

Written in C.

Licensed under the GPL version 2 or any later version (see COPYING).

A PAM login module is included in the 'pam' directory.

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
