make python3-passlib a recommended dependency instead of suggest
Either `crypt` or `passlib` is required, and crypt was [completely
removed in Python 3.13][1]
The dependency is a runtime check, so regular `python3:Depends` don't
detect and add it.
This results in cloud-init errors like this since python 3.13:
```
'crypt and passlib not found, missing dependency'
```
when using the Azure DataSource, and as `passlib` is required for
password support it can result in not being able to login.
It's of note that [Ubuntu added the install dependency][2], as did the
[upstream packaging template][3].
