pam_access: support parsing files in /etc/security/access.d/*.conf
* modules/pam_access/pam_access.c (login_access): Return NOMATCH if there was no match in the parsed file. (pam_sm_authenticate): Add glob() call to go through the ACCESS_CONF_GLOB subdirectory and call login_access() on the individual files matched. * modules/pam_access/pam_access.8.xml: Document the addition. * modules/pam_access/Makefile.am: Add ACCESS_CONF_GLOB definition.

By default rules for access management are taken from config file
<filename>/etc/security/access.conf</filename> if you don't specify
another file.
+ Then individual <filename>*.conf</filename> files from the
+ <filename>/etc/security/access.d/</filename> directory are read.
+ The files are parsed one after another in the order of the system locale.
+ The effect of the individual files is the same as if all the files were
+ concatenated together in the order of parsing. This means that once
+ a pattern is matched in some file no further files are parsed.
+ If a config file is explicitly specified with the <option>accessfile</option>
+ option the files in the above directory are not parsed.
