add libpam.so.0 and libpam_misc.so.0 to exclude list

Pam libraries are system specific, when using bundled PAM libs from e.g. fedora on Debian you can get an error such as Authentication failed: Module is unkown. Using system PAM libraries works completely fine, also If the system doesn't have PAM libraries I do not think PAM works at all, so there should not be any reason to bundle them.

What happens if an application requires libpam.so.0 and it is not on the system?

well if it is a direct linkage it will fail, so I'm not sure I understand your question. I argue that bundled libpam will always be useless as that won't make PAM on the client Linux suddenly work. Each Distro will probably have a completely different PAM setup, the only thing it will share will be the modules and I'm certain they will be shared only with name and 'API', not the implementation.
So if you are trying to use AppImage that requires PAM on a system that doesn't have PAM, you are probably doing something wrong.

I don't care about PAM working, as long as the application will run. But if a system lacks libraries that the application links to, then the application will fail to run. And that's what we want to avoid.

but with your argument excludelist has to be empty, because what if user links to libX11.so.6 for example?
