The prompts asking the user to physically authenticate or confirm presence on a security token are informational requests for action, not error conditions. This commit changes the message type to PAM_TEXT_INFO, which is more appropriate for guiding the user through the authentication process.

The pam_systemd_home PAM_TEXT_INFO patch (systemd/systemd#40412) has been merged upstream and is now available in the locked nixpkgs revision. This overlay was causing a massive rebuild cascade: since systemd is a transitive dependency of virtually every package (via dbus, polkit, udev, glib, gtk, qt, etc.), patching it forced from-source rebuilds of packages like inkscape, openjdk, qtbase6, and hundreds of others that would otherwise be fetched from the binary cache.
