strsep(3) is stateless, and so is easier to reason about.
It also has a slight difference: strtok(3) jumps over empty fields,
while strsep(3) respects them as empty fields. In most of the cases
where we were using strtok(3), it makes more sense to respect empty
fields, and this commit probably silently fixes a few bugs.
In other cases (most notably filesystem paths), contiguous delimiters
("//") should be collapsed, so strtok(3) still makes more sense there.
This commit doesn't replace such strtok(3) calls.
While at this, remove some useless variables used by these calls, and
reduce the scope of others.

shadow-utils
Introduction
The shadow-utils package includes the necessary programs for converting UNIX password files to the shadow password format, plus programs for managing user and group accounts. The pwconv command converts passwords to the shadow password format. The pwunconv command unconverts shadow passwords and generates a passwd file (a standard UNIX password file). The pwck command checks the integrity of password and shadow files. The lastlog command prints out the last login times for all users. The useradd, userdel, and usermod commands are used for managing user accounts. The groupadd, groupdel, and groupmod commands are used for managing group accounts.
