[bug#72316] [PATCH 0/3] Switch to Guile-PAM.

[Felix Lechner via Guix-patches via <guix-patches@gnu.org>]

Guile-PAM reimplements the PAM stack in GNU Guile and allows system
administrators to write modules in GNU Guile.

This patch series switches Guix System to Guile-PAM.  It relies on the shared
objects from Linux-PAM until Guile implementations are available.

In Guix, Guile-PAM could start Shepherd's user services or keep track of login
sessions similar to pam_systemd.so.

The guile-pam package ships with a detailed Texinfo manual.

The software is in alpha stage.  For example, the interaction with sddm was
not well-tested.  Please let me know how it goes---private email is okay!

Kind regards
Felix
