ca9e309d30 Fix VPATH build
When trying to build shadow in a different directory I stumbled upon few
issues, this commit aims to fix all of them:

- The `subid.h` file is generated and hence in the build directory and
	not in the source directory, so use `$(builddir)` instead of
	`$(srcdir)`.

- Using `$<` instead of filenames utilises autotools to locate the files
  in either the source or build directory automatically.

- `xsltproc` needs to access the files in login.defs.d in either the
  source directory or the symlink in a language subdirectory, but it
	does not interpret the `--path` as prefix of the entity path, but
	rather a path under which to locate the basename of the entity
	from the XML file.  So specify the whole path to login.defs.d.

- The above point could be used to make the symlinks of login.defs.d
  and entity path specifications in the XMLs obsolete, but I trying
	not to propose possibly disrupting patches, so for the sake of
	simplicity just specify `$(srcdir)` when creating the symlink.

1058872a0b Improve TTYGROUP description in login.defs manpage
Closes #457

The existing prose was confusing, or simply wrong.  Make it clear
that only the group ownership of the tty is affected, and how.
Also move the paragraph about defaults after the discussion of
acceptable TTYGROUPs, as this seems more natural.

65470e5c7d changing lock mechanism
Systems can suffer power interruptions whilst .lock files are in /etc,
preventing scripts and other automation tools from updating shadow's
files which persist across boots.

This commit replaces that mechanism with file locking to avoid problems
of power interruption/crashing.

Minor tweak to groupmems man page, requested by 'xx' on IRC.

cfc981df2a shadow: use relaxed usernames
The groupadd from shadow does not allow upper case group names, the
same is true for the upstream shadow. But distributions like
Debian/Ubuntu/CentOS has their own way to cope with this problem,
this patch is picked up from Fedora [1] to relax the usernames
restrictions to allow the upper case group names, and the relaxation is
POSIX compliant because POSIX indicate that usernames are composed of
characters from the portable filename character set [A-Za-z0-9._-].

Rename list_subid_ranges to getsubids to provide a system binary to

administrators can check the subid ranges of a given user.

Finally, add a man page to explain the behaviour of getsubids.

xml2po is deprecated.  We've previously replaced xml2po with
itstool in man/generate_translations.mak, but there was still

Update that one.  Now 'make dist' succeeds on a ubuntu focal
or newer host where xml2po is not available.

b8cbc2c113 login.defs: include HMAC_CRYPTO_ALGO key
Include the new HMAC_CRYPTO_ALGO key that is needed by pam_timestamp to
select the algorithm that is going to be used to calculate the message
authentication code.

pam_timestamp is currently using an embedded algorithm to calculate the
HMAC message, but the idea is to improve this behaviour by relying on
openssl's implementation. On top of that, the ability to change the
algorithm with a simple configuration change allows to simplify the
process of removing unsecure algorithms.
