meson, man: do not install pam_systemd_home(8) when pam or homed is disabled

Fixes #14725.

TODO

@@ -894,11 +894,6 @@ Features:
   - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
     full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
     to syslog when it works again.
-  - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
-    boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
-    so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
-    hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
-  - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
   - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
   - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
     journals in.

+    <para>Journal 'namespaces' are both a mechanism for logically isolating the log stream of projects
+    consisting of one or more services from the rest of the system and a mechanism for improving
+    performance. Multiple journal namespaces may exist simultaneously, each defining its own, independent log
+    stream managed by its own instance of <command>systemd-journald</command>. Namespaces are independent of
+    each other, both in the data store and in the IPC interface. By default only a single 'default' namespace
+    exists, managed by <filename>systemd-journald.service</filename> (and its associated socket
+    units). Additional namespaces are created by starting an instance of the
+    <filename>systemd-journald@.service</filename> service template. The instance name is the namespace
+    identifier, which is a short string used for referencing the journal namespace. Service units may be
+    assigned to a specific journal namespace through the <varname>LogNamespace=</varname> unit file setting,
+    see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
