    pam: Port to sd-bus · d70f15b5
    Bastien Nocera authored
    This pam plugin never used GDBus because it transparently uses threads
    which do not work well with a lot of PAM applications. But even settling
    on the "still better to use than plain dbus library" dbus-glib wasn't
    without problems, as any use or initialisation of GIO sockets would
    modify signal handler for signals such as SIGPIPE (see gio/gsocket.c).
    
    Many years later, sd-bus is a more modern alternative to the bare dbus
    library with a better API.
    
    This includes:
    - Removing use of gboolean, guint, g_new0() and many glib string helpers
    - Simplifying debug logging
    - Marking user-facing messages to be translated
