Keep/Remove Python dependent package: authconfig

[sinnykumari]

FCOS community members are trying not to ship Python in base system. In ticket #92, we have identified list of Python dependent packages which are currently installed in FCOS.

This ticket is to investigate that do we really need authconfig in FCOS base system? If yes, how can we provide authconfig or equivalent functionalities without shipping Python.

Again re: replacing authconfig with authselect: Seems authselect only needs Python for the authselect-compat pkg for compatibility with authconfig (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/authselect/blob/master/f/authselect.spec#_176).

Has anybody here used authselect and has some experience with it?

@jlebon

Yeah, there's some history there: pbrezina/authselect#48. Basically, we've held back migrating to authselect in FAH because of conflicts over nsswitch.conf.

Discussed in the meeting this past wednesday:

AGREED: we will try to go without authconfig/authselect and also try
    to raise the awareness of this move to get feedback from potential
