- Update to 1.5.0
  - obsoletes pam-bsc1178727-initialize-daysleft.patch
  - Multiple minor bug fixes, portability fixes, and documentation improvements.
  - Extended libpam API with pam_modutil_check_user_in_passwd function.
  - pam_faillock: changed /run/faillock/$USER permissions from 0600 to 0660.
  - pam_motd: read motd files with target user credentials skipping unreadable ones.
  - pam_pwhistory: added a SELinux helper executable.
  - pam_unix, pam_usertype: implemented avoidance of certain timing attacks.
  - pam_wheel: implemented PAM_RUSER fallback for the case when getlogin fails.
  - pam_env: Reading of the user environment is deprecated and will be removed
             at some point in the future.
  - libpam: pam_modutil_drop_priv() now correctly sets the target user's
    supplementary groups, allowing pam_motd to filter messages accordingly
- Refresh pam-xauth_ownership.patch
- pam_tally2-removal.patch: Re-add pam_tally2 for deprecated sub-package
- pam_cracklib-removal.patch: Re-add pam_cracklib for deprecated sub-package

- pam_cracklib: added code to check whether the password contains
  a substring of of the user's name of at least <N> characters length
  in some form.
  This is enabled by the new parameter "usersubstr=<N>"
  See https://github.com/libpwquality/libpwquality/commit/bfef79dbe6aa525e9557bf4b0a61e6dde12749c4
  [jsc#SLE-16719, jsc#SLE-16720, pam-pam_cracklib-add-usersubstr.patch]

- pam_xauth.c: do not free() a string which has been (successfully)
  passed to putenv().
  [bsc#1177858, pam-bsc1177858-dont-free-environment-string.patch]

- Initialize pam_unix pam_sm_acct_mgmt() local variable "daysleft"
  to avoid spurious (and misleading)
