Message:

shadow: Do not install useless PAM configuration files

The shipped configuration does not work at all on BLFS, so these files
are completely useless.

We were installing the files then overwriting them, but preventing the
installation can make our life easier when we reinstall/upgrade shadow
(then we don't need to recreate our BLFS-specific configuration).
