The golang PAM does this already
Our config examples for the Python-based PAM module (in the package and on the install doc page) used to have the "noprompt" option. Without that, it would prompt "Arvados API token: ".
Instead of pam_conv() the new Go-based PAM module uses pam_get_authtok(...,NULL) which "uses pre-defined prompts". https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/pam_get_authtok.3.html

I updated the workbench webshell javascript integration to wait for "assword:" as the trigger to send the authentication token. Do we need to document that?
