This commit adds a boolean setting 'pam_silent' that controls whether sudo will pass PAM_SILENT to pam_authenticate(). The default for this setting is 'true', which reflects the previous behaviour.
When this setting is set to 'false', pam messages such as faillock lockout message will be displayed, which is not the case for current 'sudo'.
