Release Notes Summary:
Since the pw provider is only intended for use on BSD operating systems, it should use confine to prevent accidental activation on non-BSD systems. Linux was particularly susceptible to this as there are no default providers declared for that platform.

Description

If the pw provider is only intended for use on BSD operating systems, then it should use confine to prevent accidental activation on non-BSD systems. Linux is particularly susceptible to this as there are no default providers declared for that platform (~~PUP-4692~~).

See PUP-4491 for similar reasoning in the case of OpenBSD providers.
