According to the C2x charter, I reordered the parameters 'size'
and 'buf' from previously existing date_to_str() definitions.

I used 'long' for the date parameter, as some uses of the function
need to pass a negative value meaning "never".
FUNCTION BODY:
I didn't check '#ifdef HAVE_STRFTIME', which old definitions did,
since strftime(3) is guaranteed by the C89 standard, and all of
the conversion specifiers that we use are also specified by that
standard, so we don't need any extensions at all.

lib: rename Prog to shadow_progname, with only one definition
The build was failing with duplicate symbol errors with -fno-common.
This is the default in GCC 10 and later, and explicitly enabled in some
distributions to catch problems like this. There were two causes:
- Prog and shadow_logfd were defined in a header file that was included
in multiple other files. Fix this by defining them once in
shadowlog.c, and having extern declarations in the header.
- Most of the tools (except id/nologin) also define a Prog variable,
which is not intended to alias the one in the library. Fix
this by renaming Prog in the library to shadow_progname, which also
matches the new accessor functions for it.

getsubids: system binary for user's sub*ids
Rename list_subid_ranges to getsubids to provide a system binary to
check the sub*ids of a user. The intention is to provide this binary
with any distribution that includes the subid feature, so that system
administrators can check the subid ranges of a given user.
Finally, add a man page to explain the behaviour of getsubids.
Always set SIGCHLD handler to default, even if the caller of vipw has
set SIGCHLD to ignore. If SIGCHLD is ignored no zombie processes would
be created, which in turn could mean that kill is called with an already
recycled pid.
Proof of Concept:
1. Compile nochld:
--
#include <signal.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(void) {
char *argv[] = { "vipw", NULL };
signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN);
execvp("vipw", argv);
return 1;
}
--
2. Run nochld
3. Suspend child vi, which suspends vipw too:
`kill -STOP childpid`
4. Kill vi:
`kill -9 childpid`
5. You can see with ps that childpid is no zombie but disappeared
6. Bring vipw back into foreground
`fg`
The kill call sends SIGCONT to "childpid" which in turn could have been
already recycled for another process.
This is definitely not a vulnerability. It would take super user
operations, at which point an attacker would have already elevated
permissions.
When using groupdel with a prefix, groupdel will attempt to read a
passwd file to look for any user in the group. When the file does not
exist it cores with segmentation fault.
If a line in hushlogins file, e.g. /etc/hushlogins, starts with
'\0', then current code performs an out of boundary write.
If the line lacks a newline at the end, then another character is
overridden.

Add missing chmod()
During shadowtcb_move() the directory is temporarily changed to be
owned by root:root with permissions 0700. After the change is done,
the ownership and permissions were supposed to be restored. The
call for chown() was there, but the chmod() call was missing. This
resulted in the broken TCB functionality. The added chmod() fixes
the issue.

su: Fix never alarmed SIGKILL when session terminates
The buggy code was introduced nearly 5 years ago at the
commit 08fd4b69e84364677a10e519ccb25b71710ee686. The
desired behavior is that SIGKILL will be sent to the
child if it does not exit within 2 seconds after it
receives SIGTERM. However, SIGALRM is masked while
waiting for the child so it cannot wake the program
up after 2 seconds to send SIGKILL.
An example shows the buggy behavior, which exists in
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (with login 1:4.5-1ubuntu2).
```bash
user1@localhost:~$ su user2 -c '
_term() {
echo SIGTERM received
}
trap _term TERM
while true; do
sleep 1
echo still alive
done'
Password:
still alive
Session terminated, terminating shell...Terminated
SIGTERM received
still alive
still alive
still alive
still alive
```
(SIGTERM is sent in another user1's terminal by
executing `killall su`.)
Here is the desired behavior, which shows what the
commit fixes.
```bash
user1@localhost:~$ su user2 -c '
_term() {
echo SIGTERM received
}
trap _term TERM
while true; do
sleep 1
echo still alive
done'
