feat: add fprintd fingerprint authentication via greetd multi-stage PAM (v0.6.0)

Fingerprint auth was missing because moongreet rejected multi-stage
auth_message sequences from greetd. With pam_fprintd.so in the PAM
stack, greetd sends non-secret prompts for fingerprint and secret
prompts for password — moongreet now handles both in a loop.

- Replace single-pass auth with multi-stage auth_message loop
- fprintd D-Bus probe (gio::DBusProxy) for UI feedback only
- Fingerprint label shown when device available and fingers enrolled
- 60s socket timeout when fingerprint available (pam_fprintd scan time)
- Config option: [appearance] fingerprint-enabled (default: true)
- Fix: password entry focus loss after auth error (grab_focus while
  widget was insensitive — now re-enable before grab_focus)

 # Decisions
 
+## 2026-03-29 – Fingerprint authentication via greetd multi-stage PAM
+
+- **Who**: Ragnar, Dom
+- **Why**: moonlock supports fprintd but moongreet rejected multi-stage auth. Users with enrolled fingerprints couldn't use them at the login screen.
+- **Tradeoffs**: Direct fprintd D-Bus verification (like moonlock) can't start a greetd session — greetd controls session creation via PAM. Using greetd multi-stage means PAM decides the auth order (fingerprint first, then password fallback), not truly parallel. Acceptable — matches standard pam_fprintd behavior.
+- **How**: Replace single-pass auth with a loop over auth_message rounds. Secret prompts get the password, non-secret prompts (fprintd) get None and block until PAM resolves. fprintd D-Bus probe (gio::DBusProxy) only for UI — detecting device availability and enrolled fingers. 60s socket timeout when fingerprint available. Config option `fingerprint-enabled` (default true).
