systemd: use -Dpam=true

The main point to rebuild systemd in BLFS is for logind. Add -Dpam=true
so meson will fail if PAM is not installed correctly, instead of
silently producing a systemd build w/o logind again.

35 While <application>systemd</application> was installed when
36 building LFS, there are many features provided by the package that
37 were not included in the initial installation because

39 The <application>systemd</application> package needs to be
40 rebuilt to provide a working <command>systemd-logind</command> service,
41 which provides many additional features for dependent packages.

245 <!-- EDITORS NOTE: Explanation on removing userdbd and homed:
246 In BLFS, we do not fully support disk encryption. We offer instructions for
247 building 'cryptsetup' as a dependency, but we do not offer instructions for
248 actually configuring it. In addition, we generally do not include
249 functionality that could potentially conflict with other packages, or that
250 is not of any use to us (in an enterprise configuration using Thin Clients
251 or laptops with LUKS encryption, it could make sense though, but that isn't
252 the configuration that we natively support).
253
254 A few of the complications of systemd-homed include:
255 - SSH Logins
256 - Disk Space Assignments
257 - UID Assignments (chown() on login)
258 (See https://cfp.all-systems-go.io/media/homed-asg2019.pdf)
259
260 In an article I read when systemd-homed was originally unveiled, I remember
261 reading about systemd-homed causing problems with OpenSSH Private Key Auth
262 because the user would have to login at the console in order to unlock
263 their home directory, thus allowing the private key to be unlocked and
264 processed by OpenSSH. Since BLFS does not fully support encrypted disks,
265 and because systemd-homed is incompatible with our usage of useradd /
266 traditional UNIX users and groups, I advise that we take the following
267 approach to avoid any confusion:
268
269 - Leave the added Short Descriptions for homectl and userdbctl
270 - Add the above command explanations and restore the previous behavior
271
272 Should we decide to enable homed by default anytime in the future,
273 let's move cryptsetup to recommended or required.
274
275 I would be open to discussing this after the next systemd version when
276 systemd-homed has matured a bit more. -renodr -->
