Allow PAM module to save state #218

Description

@pkern

After trying to educate myself on how to use the PAM module properly together with pam_unix still present, I think this is probably the way:

  • Invoke pam_glome with a "prompt" option. This should use pam_set_data to store the ephemeral key and output the GLOME challenge.
  • Let pam_unix do its thing and fail if the password is incorrect.
  • Invoke pam_glome again, let it discover the prior context and check the authcode.

We might also want to support a "quiet" to not print errors - however in this setup I suspect printing anything about the authcode is actually fine.
