Do not unmount anything by default in pam_namespace close session call.

* modules/pam_namespace/pam_namespace.c (pam_sm_close_session): Recognize
the unmount_on_close option and make the default to be to not unmount.
* modules/pam_namespace/pam_namespace.h: Rename PAMNS_NO_UNMOUNT_ON_CLOSE to
PAMNS_UNMOUNT_ON_CLOSE.
* modules/pam_namespace/pam_namespace.8.xml: Document the change.
