Title:
  Allow a distinct pam config file for greeter and for lock-screen

Bug description:
  It might be desirable to have a distinct pam config file when logging
  in and when unlocking the screen. Specifically, using a fingerprint
  reader is fine for sudo or for unlocking, but you want to use your
  password when logging in, to provide a secret and be able to unlock
  the gnome-keyring for example.

  See http://askubuntu.com/questions/445131/how-do-i-enable-a-specific-
  pam-config-in-the-lockscreen

  So this feature request is about allowing for a (optional) pam config
  file for the lock-screen, distinct from the /etc/pam.d/lightdm
  currently used and shared with the greeter.
