pwdutils: Set errno with out of range UIDs/GIDs

If a UID/GID is larger than its respective data type allows (but smaller
than uint64_t), then tools like newgrp erroneously assume that the user
or group simply does not exist.

Set errno to indicate that the supplied UID/GID is out of range instead.
