fp_dev_img_capture() is not implemented and returns -ENOTSUPP for all devices
since migration to asynchronous model. This commit implement missing functionality
The libfprint library is generally built with C calling conventions.
Which makes it difficult to link to C++ programs as it is.
This patch adds the support for linking with C++ code - by telling the C++
compiler to use C calling conventions for libfprint functions.

Add timeout mechanism as an asynchronous equivalent of sleeping (uru4000
needs this).
Start implementing polling infrastructure which also accounts for pending
timeouts. We don't expose file descriptors yet, but this is a start.
I want to offer the ability for an application to view a binarized
version of a scanned print. This lead onto a few changes:
1. Store minutiae and binarized data inside fp_img
2. Move resize code to the capture path, it previously happened much
later.
3. Add fp_img_binarize() to return a new image in binarized form.
4. Add a BINARIZED_FORM flag to prevent an image being binarized again.
In future, it would be nice to be able to binarize without detecting
minutiae, but this involves some work on the NBIS interaction.
Added new API functions to obtain images, even when scans are bad, perhaps
a useful way to show the user just how good/bad the scan actually was.
Drivers and examples updated accordingly.
Add concept of "discovered prints" and flesh out the API. A discovered print
was found based on file name but has not been checked for file integrity,
and of course there is no guarantee that it is usable when you try to
use it later (might have been deleted, etc).
The .fprint directory structure was changed - instead of using mnemonics
like "rind" we use their numeric value in the fp_finger enum as the filename.
Drivers now have an ID number. These will be assigned by me and documented
on the wiki. 0 cannot be used.
Drivers now define a devtype for each device they initialise. This is to
cope with the situation where a driver can support varying devices where
their print data is incompatible (i.e. image scaling is totally changed).
This doesn't apply to any existing supported devices.
Print data no longer includes driver name, and includes driver ID instead.
Paths to saved print data now include driver ID and devtype, and no longer
include driver name.
APIs exposed for converting a print_data into a blob which can then
be loaded back again later. Useful for systems who don't want to use
my simple storage system (which is only aimed at a single user).
File format is now defined and will be documented on the wiki. The header
is larger as we can no longer rely on directory paths in all scenarios.
Print data compat check now checks devtype and driver ID.
The basic model is that image drivers declare a fp_img_driver structure
rather than a fp_driver struct. fp_img_driver will contain primitive imaging
operations such as 'scan finger and return image'. The imgdev layer will
generically implement the primitive fp_driver operations, and the imgdev
layer will fix up the enroll/verify/etc pointers at driver registration
time.
Removed const from all fp_driver declarations, as these are now modified
dynamically in the case of imaging drivers.
Prints can now be saved to disk (but you currently must classify which
finger they are) and you can load them later.
Added 2 simple example programs to demonstrate this.
Convert enrollment function to return a signed integer, which is negative
on error or corresponds into fp_enroll_result otherwise.
Now we can treat a 'FAIL' condition differently from an actual error: fail
means that enrollment didn't complete because the data was nonsense or
whatever (e.g. scanned a different finger for each stage?).
Updated upekts accordingly.
upekts will need to know when the first enrollment stage is attempted for
the first time, so add an __enroll_stage counter which actually indicates
the next stage to enroll. -1 is a special value and it means 0 is next *and*
it is the initial attemt.
Added more debug output to the enroll handler.
Added new fp_enroll_status codes for too short or uncentered scans.
Changed the print_data allocator to consider the device rather than the
driver, this feels more natural. Added missing return value.
Make fp_enroll_status codes start at 1. 0 can now be used as a
special/temporary value by the drivers. Also check that we aren't exceeding
the number of enroll stages.
Also add a missing exit() call to the verify example and update for the
above.
