core: migrate to dms-shell arch package

- Re-add loginConfigWatcher so installs can still fall through to
  /etc/pam.d instead of the bundled PAM assets
- Add login-faillock bundled PAM asset at runtime. Use it as the bundled fallback when dankshell config is absent
- Fix invalid bare property writes (u2fPending, u2fState, unlockInProgress,
  state) in Pam.qml
- Improve lockscreen auth feedback
