Strongly inspired by the forgejo counterpart[1], for the following
reasons:

* The feature is broken with the current module and crashes on
  authentication with the following stacktrace (with a PAM service
  `gitea` added):

      server # Stack trace of thread 1008:

  It only worked after turning off multiple sandbox settings and adding
  `shadow` as supplementary group to `gitea.service`.

  I'm not willing to maintain additional multiple sandbox settings for
  different features, especially given that it was probably not used for
  quite a long time:

  * There was no PR or bugreport about sandboxing issues related to
    PAM.

  * Ever since the module exists, it used the user `gitea`, i.e. it had
    never read-access to `/etc/shadow`.

* Upstream has it disabled by default[2].

If somebody really needs it, it can still be brought back by an overlay
updating `tags` accordingly and modifying the systemd service config.
