Patch for fix PAM prompt to upstream

When a non translated PAM plugin as pam-krb5 override custom prompt if the environment uses a different language than English.

I analyze the code and it show than sudo only use the custom prompt if the PAM prompt is a translated version of "Password:". The solution is check again the PAM prompt using Default (english string) "Password:".

I put a possible patch for this.
