Get fingerprint data from python package

[Pijukatel]

Hi,

I created this new Python repository which contains fingerprint datapoints.
It uses datapoints from the apify/fingerprint_suite, so we will keep it updated.
Repo is super simple, just data files + 5 helpers

Motivation:
Remove the necessity to download additional files and avoid potential issues like this: #26

Deterministic results - specific version of browserforge will always use same data files. Previously that would depend on what data files were downloaded.

Simpler setup.

Open question
Deprecation process? I replaced those download related functions with dummy implementation and I was thinking that once I remove any dependency from camoufox repo I could delete them completely. Is that ok?

apify-fingerprint-datapoints version constraint? Is it preferable to take latest, or is it preferable to have manual control and bump the version dependency manually?

Version bump? Should be be minor version bump once the deprecated functions are deleted?

Hello,

Sorry for the delay, I've been out of town for the last week. I just looked through the changes, and they lgtm!

Although, I may add back dummy update and remove CLI options before the next release to provide a depreciation notice for those relying on them within existing scripts.
