All pam_fscrypt configuration guides that I'm aware of say to use the
"lock_policies" option for the pam_fscrypt.so session hook. The
Debian/Ubuntu pam-config-framework config file has it too.
Make locking the default behavior, since this is what everyone wants.
Existing configuration files that contain the "lock_policies" option
will continue to work, but that option won't do anything anymore.
(We could add an option "unlock_only" to restore the old default
behavior, but it's not clear that it would be useful. So for
simplicity, leave it out for now.)

Configuring whether pam_fscrypt drops caches or not isn't really
something the user should have to do, and it's also irrelevant for v2
encryption policies (the default on newer systems). It's better to have
pam_fscrypt automatically decide whether it needs to drop caches or not.
Do this by making pam_fscrypt check whether any encryption policy keys
are being removed from a user keyring (rather than from a filesystem
keyring). If so, it drops caches; otherwise it doesn't. This
supersedes the "drop_caches" option, which won't do anything anymore.

Services launched by systemd user sessions on Debian / Ubuntu systems
are often not able to access the home directory, because there is no
guarantee / requirement that pam_fscrypt is sequenced before
pam_systemd.
Although this pam-config mechanism is Debian-specific, the config file
is provided here upstream and unmodified in Debian. Raising the
priority here so that it's always ordered ahead of pam_systemd will
solve issues such as https://github.com/google/fscrypt/issues/270,
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=964951 and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1889416.
After a survey of pam-config files available in Debian bullseye, the
value of 100 was chosen as it appears after most other plugins that
could be involved in more explicit homedir configuration (eg pam_mount
at 128) but before those which seem unlikely to work without a home
directory (eg pam_ssh at 64).

Per the FHS, manually installed programs should go under /usr/local.
This change also makes it easier to change the global installation
prefix. For example, package managers should set PREFIX=/usr
