Safety and doc fixes:
- Don't panic when given a string with a null character;
instead return `PAM_CONV_ERR`.
- Improve pattern matching and use ?s where appropriate.
- Format etc.

# 🍳 nonstick Nonstick lets you use PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) from Rust without having to deal with icky unsafe code. ## Status It is currently very incomplete. It only provides functionality for developing your own PAM authentication module (i.e., a backend that PAM calls to authenticate a user or do something similar). At the moment, [Linux-PAM](https://github.com/linux-pam/linux-pam) is the only supported PAM implementation. I will make an effort not to break APIs with development, but consider it alpha, pre-1.0 software. While the code itself should be _secure_ and mostly safe, the API may not be completely stable. Goals include: - Bindings for PAM clients. - Support for non–Linux-PAM implementations. ## Credits This is a direct fork of [Anthony Nowell](http://anowell.com/)’s [`pam-rs`/`pam-bindings` crate](https://crates.io/crates/pam-bindings). `pam-rs` was in turn inspired by: - [`rust-pam` by tozny](https://github.com/tozny/rust-pam) - [`pam_groupmap` by ndenev](https://github.com/ndenev/pam_groupmap) - [`pam-http` by beatgammit](https://github.com/beatgammit/pam-http)
