The shadow passwords concept is only a thing on Linux and Solaris. *BSDs and macOS have their own native mechanisms for securing passwords. So we shouldn't attempt to detect shadow.h and throw a warning when not found on those OSes.
We also now print a fallback
passwd
in the summary when shadow support not detected. (Not all OSes call this passwd, but I'm using it a shorthand for native password management here.)
