feat(idle): unlock by fingerprint, and say so — hyprlock never used the PAM flag
Bernardo tested the lock screen after turning `fingerprint.pam` on: sudo took
a finger, hyprlock did nothing. The PAM stack was not the problem — grosshack
sits in /etc/pam.d/hyprlock at order 11400 exactly like sudo's. hyprlock just
never asks it: its PAM conversation runs only on submit, so a module that
wants to prompt *while* polling the reader never gets a turn. hyprlock has its
own fprintd-over-D-Bus backend instead, behind `auth:fingerprint:enabled`,
which nothing in the distro ever set. So `fingerprint.pam = true` promised
"login + sudo" and silently skipped the surface you meet most often.

The second half is the one worth having: enabling the backend alone yields a
reader that works while the field still reads "password…". $FPRINTPROMPT is
the ONLY slot hyprlock renders the ready/scanning/failed messages into, and
ours hardcoded the placeholder — proven on hardware, where a test config with
the backend on unlocked by finger and said nothing whatsoever. A feature that
works and cannot be discovered fails VISION's "discoverable without reading
the README" either way, so the placeholder now carries $FPRINTPROMPT and the
messages mirror sudo's "Enter Password or Place finger".

New `nomarchy.idle.fingerprint` (default false), mirroring
`nomarchy.hardware.fingerprint.pam` the way `nomarchy.keyboard.layout` mirrors
`services.xserver.xkb.layout`: hyprlock is configured in standalone Home
Manager, which has no `osConfig` to derive the NixOS side from. Opt-in rather
than implied, because with no reader hyprlock advertises a scan that cannot
happen. Documented in the template (SoT for opt-in comments) and README —
option-docs caught the missing row, which is the check doing its job.

Verified V2: nix flake check --no-build; checks.option-docs passes (failed
first with "undocumented option", as it should). V3 pending: Bernardo applies
it and confirms the field reads "password… or scan finger" and both factors
work — the mechanism itself is already proven on his reader via a test config.
