synaptics-009b-fprintd: reconstructing Linux support for Synaptics 06cb:009b

synaptics-009b-fprintd reconstructs Linux support for the Synaptics Prometheus 06cb:009b fingerprint sensor. Its Rust modules handle USB transport, encrypted frame capture and host-side matching, while a D-Bus service presents the device through fprintd interfaces.
