Changes to BlinkID(Combined) Recognizer

• We've added the parameter maxAllowedMismatchesPerField to settings. When this is set to a non-zero value, DataMatch will pass as long as the number of mismatched characters doesn't exceed the specified value.
• We've enabled the return of image and back-side data results, even when the State is Uncertain. Keep in mind that returned images, in this case, might be blurry or low quality.
  • This applies to all images: face image, full document image, and signature image.
