Deprecate pam_cracklib, pam_tally, and pam_tally2
Deprecate pam_cracklib, there are two better alternatives to this
obsolete module: pam_passwdqc from passwdqc project and pam_pwquality
from libpwquality project.
Deprecate pam_tally and pam_tally2 in favour of pam_faillock.
* configure.ac: Implement --enable-cracklib=check that enables build
of pam_cracklib when libcrack is available.
Disable build of pam_cracklib, pam_tally, and pam_tally2 by default.
* NEWS: Mention this change.
* ci/run-build-and-tests.sh (DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS): Add
--enable-tally, --enable-tally2, and --enable-cracklib=check
to check build of these deprecated modules.
