after this patch we don't need to break a long line, so that's a win.

Before 3b7cc05387 ("lib: replace `USER_NAME_MAX_LENGTH` macro"), this
code did use a length. It used a utmp(5) fixed-width buffer, so the
length matches the buffer size (there was no terminating NUL byte).
However, sysconf(_SC_LOGIN_NAME_MAX) returns a buffer size that accounts
for the terminating null byte; see sysconf(3). Thus, the commit that
introduced the call to sysconf(3), should have taken that detail into
account.
403a2e3771 ("lib/chkname.c: Take NUL byte into account"), by Tobias,
caught that bug in <lib/chkname.c>, but missed that the same commit that
introduced that bug, introduced the same bug in two other places.
This fixes all remaining calls to sysconf(_SC_LOGIN_NAME_MAX).
I still observe some suspicious code after this fix:
if (do_rlogin(hostname, username, max_size - 1, term, sizeof(term)))
...
login_prompt(username, max_size - 1);
We're passing size-1 to functions that want a size. But since the fix
to those will be different, let's do that in the following commits.

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.

This makes it harder to make mistakes while editing the code. Since the
sizeof's can be autocalculated, let the machine do that. It also
reduces the cognitive load while reading the code.

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.

If we consider simple objects as arrays of size 1, we can considerably
simplify these APIs, merging the *ARRAY and the non-array variants.
That will produce more readable code, since lines will be shorter (by
not having ARRAY in the macro names, as all macros will consistently
handle arrays), and the allocated size will be also more explicit.
The syntax will now be of the form:
p = MALLOC(42, foo_t); // allocate 42 elements of type foo_t.
p = MALLOC(1, bar_t); // allocate 1 element of type foo_t.
The _array() allocation functions should _never_ be called directly, and
instead these macros should be used.
The non-array functions (e.g., malloc(3)) still have their place, but
are limited to allocating structures with flexible array members. For
any other uses, the macros should be used.
Thus, we don't use any array or ARRAY variants in any code any more, and
they are only used as implementation details of these macros.

Use of these macros, apart from the benefits mentioned in the commit
that adds the macros, has some other good side effects:
- Consistency in getting the size of the object from sizeof(type),
instead of a mix of sizeof(type) sometimes and sizeof(*p) other
times.
- More readable code: no casts, and no sizeof(), so also shorter lines
that we don't need to cut.
- Consistency in using array allocation calls for allocations of arrays
of objects, even when the object size is 1.

- Integer variables convert to each other.
I changed the declaration of a few variables in order to allow removing
a cast.
However, I didn't attempt to edit casts inside comparisons, since they
are very delicate. I also kept casts in variadic functions, since they
are necessary, and in allocation functions, because I have other plans
for them.
I also changed a few casts to int that are better as ptrdiff_t.
This change has triggered some warnings about const correctness issues,
which have also been fixed in this patch (see for example src/login.c).

In variadic functions we still do the cast. In POSIX, it's not
necessary, since NULL is required to be of type 'void *', and 'void *'
is guaranteed to have the same alignment and representation as 'char *'.
However, since ISO C still doesn't mandate that, and moreover they're
doing dubious stuff by adding nullptr, let's be on the cautious side.
Also, C++ requires that NULL is _not_ 'void *', but either plain 0 or
some magic stuff.

Login timed out message prints only first few bytes when write is immediately followed by exit.
Calling exit from new handler provides enough time to display full message.

On Linux, utmpx and utmp are identical. However, documentation (manual
pages) covers utmp, and just says about utmpx that it's identical to
utmp. It seems that it's preferred to use utmp, at least by reading the
manual pages.
Moreover, we were defaulting to utmp (utmpx had to be explicitly enabled
at configuration time). So, it seems safer to just make it permanent,
which should not affect default builds.

Closes#325
Add a new subid_init() function which can be used to specify the
stream on which error messages should be printed. (If you want to
get fancy you can redirect that to memory :) If subid_init() is
not called, use stderr. If NULL is passed, then /dev/null will
be used.
This patch also fixes up the 'Prog', which previously had to be
defined by any program linking against libsubid. Now, by default
in libsubid it will show (subid). Once subid_init() is called,
it will use the first variable passed to subid_init().

* login & su: Treat an empty passwd field as invalid
Otherwise it's treated like the “require no password” clause while it probably
should be treated like a normal su that can't validate anyway.
A similar change should be done for USE_PAM.
* su & login: Introduce PREVENT_NO_AUTH
As the large uids are usually provided by remote user identity and
authentication service, which also provide user login tracking,
there is no need to create a huge sparse file for them on every local
machine.
fixup! login.defs: Add LASTLOG_UID_MAX variable to limit lastlog to small uids.
This allows shadow-utils to build on systems like Adélie, which have no
<utmp.h> header or `struct utmp`. We use a <utmpx.h>-based daemon,
utmps[1], which uses `struct utmpx` only.
Tested both `login` and `logoutd` with utmps and both work correctly.

Some of the supplied tools use functions which are not signal-safe.
Most of the times it's exit() vs. _exit().
In other times it's how the standard output or standard error is
handled. FILE-related functions shall be avoided, therefore I replaced
them with write().
Also there is no need to call closelog(). At worst, it allows to
trigger a deadlock by issuing different signal types at bad timings.
But as these fixes are about race conditions, expect bad timings in
general for these bugs to be triggered. :)
