b5aba2624b Fix E_NAME_IN_USE documentation.
Since code gives this error if username or group name is already
used the documentation should reflect that.

3b6ccf642c getsubids: system binary for user's sub*ids
Rename list_subid_ranges to getsubids to provide a system binary to
check the sub*ids of a user. The intention is to provide this binary
with any distribution that includes the subid feature, so that system
administrators can check the subid ranges of a given user.

Finally, add a man page to explain the behaviour of getsubids.

02b200c9aa man/po/Makefile.in: switch from xml2po to itstool
xml2po is deprecated.  We've previously replaced xml2po with
itstool in man/generate_translations.mak, but there was still
an instance of it that only is exercised for 'make dist'.
Update that one.  Now 'make dist' succeeds on a ubuntu focal
or newer host where xml2po is not available.

b8cbc2c113 login.defs: include HMAC_CRYPTO_ALGO key
Include the new HMAC_CRYPTO_ALGO key that is needed by pam_timestamp to
select the algorithm that is going to be used to calculate the message
authentication code.

pam_timestamp is currently using an embedded algorithm to calculate the
HMAC message, but the idea is to improve this behaviour by relying on
openssl's implementation. On top of that, the ability to change the
algorithm with a simple configuration change allows to simplify the
process of removing unsecure algorithms.
