login: add LOGIN_PLAIN_PROMPT to login.defs
We have command line option -H to disable hostname in login prompt. Unfortunately, in same cases (e.g. telnetd) it's impossible to specify login(1) command line options due to hardcoded execl()... This patch introduces LOGIN_PLAIN_PROMPT boolean for /etc/login.defs to suppress hostname in the prompt. Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
