Add to homebrew about pam_touchid

[hamzasood]

It would be nice. But this is a somewhat dangerous mod, so I think it should stay difficult to install. If someone was able to get it installed and working, then chances are they'll know what to do if it goes wrong for whatever reason.

@hamzasood Before I take the difficult route to install this, what exactly are those dangers, and what could be done to make this mod less dangerous?

@DouweM The only way to make this safe and risk free is to have Apple support this feature.

As the README.md says your recovery path, if you cripple sudo, is to login with root and fix the installation or uninstall. By default you cannot login as root on macOS.

@hamzasood Are there any plans to do this? :)

[caesar]

I don't think homebrew can really be used for software that requires sudo to install (which this does).

Copying files to /usr/lib/pam requires disabling SIP (System Integrity Protection)

Is Apple shipping this now? Why do I have it installed to /usr/lib/pam?
