Subject: [PATCH] build: detect system libpam in prepare-local-deps

prepare-local-deps.sh only stages PAM headers and expects final linking
against the host libpam.  Some distributions/containers do not provide the
unversioned /usr/lib/libpam.so development symlink, but do provide the runtime
soname such as /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpam.so.0.

Detect the host libpam path when printing the CMake hints so the generated
command can be used directly in those environments.
