Log message:
Support setting the new variable PASSWDSKIP in /etc/daily.local to prevent
security(8) from complaining about specific accounts that have no password,
typically used for services like anoncvs and gotd.

In addition to improving support for gotd, this also improves security
for everyone because the exception will now only exist on machines
where the admin explicitly enables it.

Based on an idea from stsp@; OK stsp@.
(Actually, sthen@ also mentioned a similar idea in 2009, and afresh1@
indicated potential support for the general direction in 2024.)
