Daniel Drake ba24c0884a Rework some image handling; add public binarization API
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.

=========

libfprint is part of the fprint project:
http://www.reactivated.net/fprint

libfprint was originally developed as part of an academic project at the
University of Manchester with the aim of hiding differences between different
consumer fingerprint scanners and providing a single uniform API to application
developers. The ultimate goal of the fprint project is to make fingerprint
scanners widely and easily usable under common Linux environments.

For more information on libfprint, supported devices, API documentation, etc.,
see the homepage:

libfprint is licensed under the GNU LGPL version 2.1. See the COPYING file
for the license text.

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. We have attempted to
make this process slightly easier for you by grouping these all in one place:
the AUTHORS file.

libfprint includes code from NIST's NBIS software distribution:

We include bozorth3 from the US export controlled distribution. We have
determined that it is fine to ship bozorth3 in an open source project,
