Add security considerations about fingerprint usability

Daniel Kahn Gillmor requested to merge fpr-usability-security-considerations into main

Note that I couldn't find good references about fingerprint usability to include explicitly in the draft.

The most promising study design that i recall (from 2014, see https://github.com/tomrittervg/crypto-usability-study) doesn't seem to have been completed.

However, the design team seems to agree that manual fingerprint comparison by humans is dubious, so hopefully this reflects that consensus.

Closes: #44 (closed)

Note that this is mutually exclusive with !103 (closed)
