Motivation for this change

Add the pam_p11 module so that PKCS#11 tokens (e.g. Yubikey PIV) can be used to log in.

One major advantage over Yubikey one-time passwords is that the validation happens entirely locally and offline, without dubious cloud servers that also require an internet connection.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/) - can use Yubikey in PIV mode to log in on my machines
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

If there are no further comments, can we merge this shortly so it's available in NixOS 20.09?
