package/libpwquality: fix PAM module path

Browse source 
The libpwquality package provides the pam_pwquality PAM module - the
replacement for pam_cracklib that was dropped from linux-pam back in
version 1.5.0.  However, it currently installs it to the wrong place,
so passwd and friends fail to find it.  This commit sets the security
directory path to /lib/security to match the corresponding setting in
linux-pam.mk.

Note that libpwquality has *always* installed pam_pwquality in the wrong
place, since version 1.3.0 was added to buildroot in 2017 in commit
462040443c.  However, back then, linux-pam
version 1.3.0 still provided pam_cracklib for advanced password checking.
Linux-pam deprecated pam_cracklib in 1.4.0 but still built it for us when
linux-pam.mk set --enable-cracklib.  Linux-PAM deleted pam_cracklib
altogether in 1.5.0, so it was not until our update to linux-pam-1.5.1
in commit 276f1e0a89 that pam_cracklib
became unavailable.  After that point, pam_pwquality was the only
alternative for PAM-based password checking.
