lib/pwdutils: don't use getlogin(3).

Per the man page, it shouldn't be used for security purposes. This is an
issue especially on musl, where getlogin is implemented as
getenv("LOGNAME"). Since xgetlogin is being used as user identity in su(1), to
set PAM_RUSER, we simply switch to always using getpwuid(getuid()).
