This PR is related to issue #3947
It updates the fingerprint hardware check to use
fprintd-listfor more reliable detection of available fingerprint sensors.This improves the accuracy of identifying devices across different fprintd versions and vendors.
Alternative solution: the existing detection using
lsusb | grep -Eiq 'fingerprint|synaptics|goodix|elan|validity|FPC'could be improved by adding the vendor name of the device (e.g., "LighTuning" / "Egis") to the regex.
