Subject: [PATCH] ssh/tailssh: fix Tailscale SSH to Linux Arch machines

See https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/4924#issuecomment-1168201823

Arch uses a different login binary that makes the -h flag set the PAM
service to "remote". So if they don't have that configured, don't pass -h.

Thanks to @eddiezane for debugging!

Updates #4924
