Previous commits, to keep readability of the diffs, left the code that
was previously wrapped by preprocessor coditionals untouched. Apply
some minor cosmetic changes to merge it in the surrounding code.
- USER_NAME_MAX_LENGTH was being calculated in terms of utmpx. Do it
in terms of utmp.
- Remove utmpx support from the whishlist.
- Remove unused tests about utmpx members.
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.
We already made that assumption in commit b47aa1e9aaf4. While the
header is not required by POSIX (it is an XSI extension), it is defined
in systems that are of interest to this project (GNU/Linux).

Fix useradd audit event logging of ID field
When useradd sends its ADD_USER event, it is filling in the id field. This is not yet written to disk. When auditd sees the event and the log format is enriched, auditd tries to lookup the user name but it does not exist. This causes the event to never be resolvable since ausearch relies on the lookup information attached by auditd.
The fix is to not send the id information for any event until after close_files() is called. Just the acct field is all that is

I don't know for sure what that is, but it's redefining setlocale(3)

The function is obsolete. It is recommended to use getrlimit(2) instead
(see the manual page for ulimit(3) or the POSIX manual for it). Since
getrlimit(2) is required by POSIX.1-2001, we can rely on it.

Replace the deprecated getpass(3) by our agetpass()
getpass(3) is broken in all implementations; in some, more than
others, but somewhat broken in all of them. Check the immediate
previous commit, which added the functions, for more details.

deprecated, for more details: 7ca189099d73bde954eed2d7fc21732bcc8ddc6b.

libmisc: agetpass(), erase_pass(): Add functions for getting passwords safely
There are several issues with getpass(3).
Many implementations of it share the same issues that the infamous
gets(3). In glibc it's not so terrible, since it's a wrapper
around getline(3). But it still has an important bug:
If the password is long enough, getline(3) will realloc(3) memory,
and prefixes of the password will be laying around in some
deallocated memory.
See the getpass(3) manual page for more details, and especially
the commit that marked it as deprecated, which links to a long
discussion in the linux-man@ mailing list.
So, readpassphrase(3bsd) is preferrable, which is provided by
libbsd on GNU systems. However, using readpassphrase(3) directly
is a bit verbose, so we can write our own wrapper with a simpler
interface similar to that of getpass(3).
One of the benefits of writing our own interface around
readpassphrase(3) is that we can hide there any checks that should
be done always and which would be error-prone to repeat every
time. For example, check that there was no truncation in the
password.
Also, use malloc(3) to get the buffer, instead of using a global
buffer. We're not using a multithreaded program (and it wouldn't
make sense to do so), but it's nice to know that the visibility of
our passwords is as limited as possible.
erase_pass() is a clean-up function that handles all clean-up
correctly, including zeroing the entire buffer, and then
free(3)ing the memory. By using [[gnu::malloc(erase_pass)]], we
make sure that we don't leak the buffers in any case, since the
compiler will be able to enforce clean up.

This program has 10 calls to gets(3) according to grep(1). That
makes it a very unsafe program which should not be used at all.
Let's kill the program already.
See what gets(3) has to say:
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
[[deprecated]] char *gets(char *s);
DESCRIPTION
Never use this function.
...
BUGS
Never use gets(). Because it is impossible to tell with‐
out knowing the data in advance how many characters
gets() will read, and because gets() will continue to
store characters past the end of the buffer, it is ex‐
tremely dangerous to use. It has been used to break com‐
puter security. Use fgets() instead.

Dangerous Function") at http://cwe.mitre.org/data/defini‐

free(3) accepts NULL, since the oldest ISO C. I guess the

Remove xfree(3), which was effectively an equivalent of free(3).

lib/commonio: make lock failures more detailed
This tweaks the database locking logic so that failures in the
link-checking paths are more detailed.
The rationale for this is that I've experienced a non-deterministic
bug which seems to be coming from this logic, and I'd like to get
more details about the actual failing condition.
The setuid, setgid, and sticky bits are not copied during copy_tree.
Also start with very restrictive permissions before setting ownerships.
This prevents situations in which users in a group with less permissions
than others could win a race in opening the file before permissions are
removed again.
This means that between openat and chownat_if_needed a user of group
fandom could open /tmp/uwu/owo and read the content when it is finally
written into the file.
The groupadd from shadow does not allow upper case group names, the
same is true for the upstream shadow. But distributions like
Debian/Ubuntu/CentOS has their own way to cope with this problem,
this patch is picked up from Fedora [1] to relax the usernames
restrictions to allow the upper case group names, and the relaxation is
POSIX compliant because POSIX indicate that usernames are composed of
characters from the portable filename character set [A-Za-z0-9._-].
useradd: Do not reset non-existent data in {last,fail}log
useradd does not create the files if they don't exist, but if they exist
it will reset user data even if the data did not exist before creating
a hole and an explicitly zero'd data point resulting (especially for
high UIDs) in a lot of zeros ending up in containers and tarballs.
