This function creates a temporary file, and returns a FILE pointer to
it. This avoids dealing with both a file descriptor and a FILE pointer,
and correctly deallocating the resources on error.
The code before this patch was leaking the file descriptor if fdopen(3)
failed.

See asprintf(3):
RETURN VALUE
When successful, these functions return the number of bytes
printed, just like sprintf(3). If memory allocation wasn’t possi‐
ble, or some other error occurs, these functions will return -1,
and the contents of strp are undefined.

'endptr' is appropriate internally in strtol(3) because it's a pointer
to 'end', and 'end' itself is a pointer to one-after-the-last character
of the numeric string. In other words,
endptr == &end
However, naming the pointer whose address we pass to strtol(3)'s
'endptr' feels wrong, and causes me trouble while parsing the code; I
need to double check the number of dereferences, because something feels
wrong in my head.

The variable declarations for the buffers have been aligned in this
commit, so that they appear in the diff, making it easier to review.
Some important but somewhat tangent changes included in this commit:
- lib/nss.c: The size was being defined as 65, but then used as 64.
That was a bug, although not an important one; we were just wasting
one byte. Fix that while we replace snprintf() by SNPRINTF(), which
will get the size from sizeof(), and thus will use the real size.

Check for close(2) failure at more places closing a file descriptor
written to.
Also ignore failures with errno set to EINTR (see man:close(2) for
details).
sprintf(3) does not take the destination buffer into account. Although
the destination in these case is large enough, sprintf(3) indicates a
code smell.
Use the xasprintf() wrapper.
Closes#746
Only print the 'unknown item' message to syslog if we are
actually parsing a login.defs. Prefix it with "shadow:" to make
it clear in syslog where it came from.
Also add the source filename to the console message. I'm not
quite clear on the econf API, so not sure whether in that path we
will end up actually having the path, or printing ''.

asprintf(3) is non-standard, but is provided by GNU, the BSDs, and musl.
That makes it portable enough for us to use.
This function is much simpler than the burdensome code for allocating
the right size. Being simpler, it's thus safer.
I took the opportunity to fix the style to my preferred one in the
definitions of variables used in these calls, and also in the calls to
free(3) with these pointers. That isn't gratuituous, but has a reason:
it makes those appear in the diff for this patch, which helps review it.
Oh, well, I had an excuse :)

Documentation:
- Correct the comment documenting the function:
write_full() doesn't write "up to" count bytes (which is write(2)'s
behavior, and exactly what this function is designed to avoid), but
rather exactly count bytes (on success).
- While fixing the documentation, take the time to add a man-page-like
comment as in other APIs. Especially, since we'll have to document
a few other changes from this patch, such as the modified return
values.
- Partial writes are still possible on error. It's the caller's
responsibility to handle that possibility.
API:
- In write(2), it's useful to know how many bytes were transferred,
since it can have short writes. In this API, since it either writes
it all or fails, that value is useless, and callers only want to know
if it succeeded or not. Thus, just return 0 or -1.
Implementation:
- Use `== -1` instead of `< 0` to check for write(2) syscall errors.
This is wisdom from Michael Kerrisk. This convention is useful
because it more explicitly tells maintainers that the only value
which can lead to that path is -1. Otherwise, a maintainer of the
code might be confused to think that other negative values are
possible. Keep it simple.
- The path under `if (res == 0)` was unreachable, since the loop
condition `while (count > 0)` precludes that possibility. Remove the
dead code.
- Use a temporary variable of type `const char *` to avoid a cast.
- Rename `res`, which just holds the result from write(2), to `w`,
which more clearly shows that it's just a very-short-lived variable
(by it's one-letter name), and also relates itself more to write(2).
I find it more readable.
- Move the definition of `w` to the top of the function. Now that the
function is significantly shorter, the lifetime of the variable is
clearer, and I find it more readable this way.
Use:
- Also use `== -1` to check errors.
