Leonardo Francisco 29d6fea0de validity: Add new driver for Validity/Synaptics VCSFW sensors 
Add a new "validity" driver for Validity/Synaptics fingerprint sensors
that use the VCSFW protocol (as opposed to BMKT). This is iteration 1
of a multi-phase effort to bring native libfprint support to these
widely-deployed sensors found in ThinkPad T480/T480s/T580/X1 Carbon
Gen6 and many other laptops.

This initial iteration implements:
- VCSFW command/response transport layer over USB bulk endpoints
- GET_VERSION command parsing (firmware version, product ID, build)
- Synchronous probe and async open/close state machines
- Stub implementations for enroll/verify/identify (return NOT_SUPPORTED)
- umockdev replay test with real hardware capture

Supported USB IDs (VCSFW protocol):
- 138a:0090 (Validity VFS7500)
- 138a:0097 (Validity VFS5011)
- 06cb:009a (Synaptics Metallica MIS Touch)
- 138a:009d (Validity VFS7552)

These were previously (incorrectly) claimed by the synaptics driver
which uses the BMKT protocol.

History

LibFPrint was originally developed as part of an academic project at the University Of Manchester.

It aimed to hide the differences between consumer fingerprint scanners and provide a single uniform API to application developers.

Goal

The ultimate goal of the FPrint project is to make fingerprint scanners widely and easily usable under common Linux environments.

License

Section 6 of the license states that for compiled works that use this library, such works must include LibFPrint copyright notices alongside the copyright notices for the other parts of the work.

LibFPrint includes code from NIST's NBIS software distribution.

We include Bozorth3 from the US Export Controlled distribution, which we have determined to be fine being shipped in an open source project.
