Block CC swipes on unencrypted magnetic stripe readers (MSR)

For security reasons, it is suggested to always use encrypted device for CC payments, for example Ingenico FreedomPay.

If such a device is attached to Activate, it is now required to swipe the CC on the Ingenico device. Activate will ignore any other MSR attached and will not process CC checkout.

Note: It affects only actions that use CC swipes (CC payments, opening tabs, split payments). Manager swipe, employee login and gift cards still work on unencrypted swiper.
