Title:
  Please show MOTD in containers' shell started without PAM printing
  MOTD

Bug description:
  [Impact]

    * Users of containers may never see the MOTD of the container if they are always to the container's shell without PAM being involved.
    * MOTD contains important information about the system's health including the security updates to be installed thus it is desired to show MOTD in container shells, too.
    * The fix is creating a snippet in /etc/profile.d which shows, but not necessarily updates MOTD once a day.

  [Test Case]

   * TODO

  [Regression Potential]

   * TODO

  [Other Info]

   * The fix relies on PAM setting MOTD_SHOWN=pam to avoid printing MOTD
  twice.
