2b22a6909d libsubid: don't print error messages on stderr by default
Closes #325

Add a new subid_init() function which can be used to specify the
stream on which error messages should be printed.  (If you want to
get fancy you can redirect that to memory :)  If subid_init() is
not called, use stderr.  If NULL is passed, then /dev/null will
be used.

This patch also fixes up the 'Prog', which previously had to be
defined by any program linking against libsubid.  Now, by default
in libsubid it will show (subid).  Once subid_init() is called,
it will use the first variable passed to subid_init().

cb610d54b4 Make the sp_lstchg shadow field reproducible.
The third field in the /etc/shadow file (sp_lstchg) contains the date of
the last password change expressed as the number of days since Jan 1, 1970.
As this is a relative time, creating a user today will result in:

   username:17238:0:99999:7:::

whilst creating the same user tomorrow will result in:

    username:17239:0:99999:7:::

This has an impact for the Reproducible Builds[0] project where we aim to
be independent of as many elements the build environment as possible,
including the current date.

This patch changes the behaviour to use the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH[1]
environment variable (instead of Jan 1, 1970) if valid.
