Subject: [PATCH] pam_usertype: only use SYS_UID_MAX for system users

* modules/pam_usertype/pam_usertype.c (pam_usertype_is_system): Stop
using SYS_UID_MIN to check if it is a system account, because all
accounts below the SYS_UID_MAX are system users.
* modules/pam_usertype/pam_usertype.8.xml: Remove reference to SYS_UID_MIN
as it is no longer used to calculate the system accounts.
* configure.ac: Remove PAM_USERTYPE_SYSUIDMIN.

Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1949137

       pam_usertype.so is designed to succeed or fail authentication
       based on type of the account of the authenticated user.
       The type of the account is decided with help of
