feat: add new authentication method for hyprlock using fingerprint

[YoussefAlkent]

Pull Request

Description

Updating .local/share/hyde/hyprlock.conf to support hyprlock's built-in support for parallel login using Fingerprint scanning. This does need Fprintd to be set up correctly. Adding this change does not break compatibility on systems that does not have fingerprint scanning hardware. This resolves #1446

Poem

🐰 I tapped my paw, a tiny wink and click,
A fingerprint hum, the scanner learned my trick,
"Scan your fingerprint" — the message bright and clear,
"Scanning" whispers close, the lock draws near,
Hop, unlock, and off I go — a joyful kick!

In `@Configs/.local/share/hyde/hyprlock.conf`:
- Around line 43-47: The auth block uses colon-style keys inside a block (e.g.,
fingerprint:enabled) which hyprlock v0.6.0+ will not parse; change the auth
block to use a nested fingerprint block (i.e., replace fingerprint:enabled,
fingerprint:ready_message, fingerprint:present_message with a fingerprint {
enabled = true ... } nested block) so keys are valid; alternatively, move
colon-style keys out of the auth block as auth:fingerprint:enabled = true or, if
supporting older hyprlock v0.5.x, use the older general:enable_fingerprint
style; update the auth block around the fingerprint entries and ensure
auth:pam:enabled remains set if you rely on PAM fallback.

The second commit's commit message got messed up because of zsh formatting, here is the actual message
"fix: change notation from auth{fingerprint:enable} to auth{fingerprint{enable}} to avoid versioning issues"
