These three issues were discovered by comparing mitmdump traces of the
working hbci4j Java library against python-fints when connecting to
Consorsbank (BLZ 76030080). After applying all three fixes, transactions
are fetched successfully, matching the Java output exactly.

  1. security.py: Use security_method_version=2 for two-step TAN auth
    Per the ZKA FinTS spec (page 58), two-step TAN methods
    (security_function != '999') require version 2 in the
    SecurityProfile of the HNSHK signature header. The previous
    hardcoded value of 1 caused Consorsbank to reject the request.
    Ref: Consorsbank: Error during dialog initialization, could not fetch BPD. #99

  2. formals.py: Include full account details in KTI1.from_sepa_account
    KTI1.from_sepa_account only populated iban and bic, but Consorsbank
    requires the full account details (account_number, subaccount_number,
    bank_identifier). Other classes like KTZ1 already include these
    fields — KTI1 was the only one missing them.

  3. client.py: Add force_twostep_tan parameter for banks that require
    HKTAN despite HIPINS saying otherwise
    Some banks (Consorsbank) report HKKAZ:N in HIPINS yet reject
    requests without HKTAN (error 9075). The new opt-in
    force_twostep_tan parameter (set of segment types) allows users
    to override HIPINS for specific segments. Defaults to empty set,
    so existing behavior is unchanged.

All three fixes are backwards-compatible and all existing tests pass.

Some banks (e.g. Consorsbank) attach the 0030/3955 response code to
the original command segment (HKCCS) rather than to the HKTAN segment.
This caused _send_pay_with_possible_retry() to miss the TAN challenge
and return a plain TransactionResponse instead of NeedTANResponse.

Added fallback: after checking tan_seg responses, also check
command_seg responses for 0030/3955 codes.

Also:
- Add photoTAN QR code handling to transfers.rst full example
- Fix typo (result.decoupled → res.decoupled) in transfers.rst
- Add Consorsbank to tested.rst (Transactions + Transfer)
- Add security function 900 (photoTAN / SecurePlus)
- Add sample_consorsbank.py showing photoTAN transfer flow

…sponse

1. Implement VoP polling (FinTS spec E.8.3.1): when the bank returns
   HIVPP with a polling_id but no vop_id, re-send HKVPP with
   polling_id + aufsetzpunkt (from HIRMS 3040) until the VoP check
   resolves and a vop_id is returned.

2. Broaden 3945 response code detection in VoP flow: check all
   HIRMG/HIRMS segments, not just tan_seg responses, since some banks
   attach it to different segments.

3. Add TAN fallback in approve_vop_response: after VoP approval,
   check command_seg and global HIRMG/HIRMS segments for 0030/3955
   TAN-required codes (mirrors Fix 4 from PR raphaelm#210 but in the VoP
   approval path).
