add biometric and biometric.fingerprint_reader namespace

Added new biometric and biometric.fingerprint_reader namespaces
to the spec.

Note: a library listed in biometric.fingerprint_reader.access_method
can create a own new subnamspace called e.g. (in case of libfprint)
biometric.fingerprint_reader.libfprint.*
