[Lifecycle][ESX] Allow ALL 'admin' users to access Personality Manager APIs

1. During the uninstall workflow, NSX-T does not have access to 'root'
   users and uses an admin user created by them to call Personality Manager APIs

2. Added a new PAM module for "settingsd" service and removed "root"
   hardcoding.

2.1 Kept it same as "sshd" module except I removed sending VOB during
    authentication.

3. For this, updated the auth lib to add a new method Auth_AuthenticateUserPAM,i
   which takes the PAM "service-name" to use while authenticating.

4. Modified the existing method Auth_AuthenticateUser to call this API
   when USE_PAM is true.

5. This would be available only on !_WIN32
