[PATCH 08/11] libselinux: support huge passwd/group entries

["Christian Göttsche" <cgzones@googlemail.com>]

getpwnam_r(3) and getgrnam_r(3) might return ERANGE in case the supplied
buffer was too short for the passwd/group entry.  Retry with a bigger
buffer.

Also use a fallback buffer size in case the libc returns -1 for
sysconf(3) of _SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX or _SC_GETGR_R_SIZE_MAX, like musl.
