Supports user information partial update: BioStation 3 v1.0.0

Affected Version: BioStar 2.9.0 or above
Affected Products & Versions: BioStaion 3 version1.0.0 or above
This new feature allows the user configuration process to be divided into parts. When user information gets changed, only the modified details will be sent to the device instead of updating all the user's information.

Previous Versions of BioStar 2 User information Update process (shown below)

When only one factor of user information got updated or edited, even the not changed (initially saved) elements had to go through synchronization, causing unnecessary network traffic.

User's information include: User Name, User Profile Picture, Visual Face, and Card for credential

2. Add new user information, in this case, fingerprint will be added as a new credential.

3. BioStar 2 Version 2.9.0 will now ONLY be synchronized by the newly added fingerprint credential.

This new feature can reduce unnecessary network traffic, since BioStar 2 will now only synchronize the modified user information.
Furthermore, the biometric template will no longer be overwritten unless the user intends to sync with the device, increasing the user experience for biometric authentication.
