if the euid!=owner of the userns, the kernel returns EPERM when trying
to write the uidmap and there is no CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the parent
namespace.

Sometimes getlogin() may fail, e.g., in a chroot() environment or due to NSS
misconfiguration. Loggin UID allows for investigation and troubleshooting in
such situation.
When "su -l" is used the behaviour is described as similar to
a direct login. However login.c is doing a setup_env(pw) and then a
pam_getenvlist() in this scenario. But su.c is doing it the other
way around. Which means that the value of PATH from /etc/environment
is overriden. I think this is a bug because:
The man-page claims that "-l": "provides an environment similar
to what the user would expect had the user logged in directly."
And login.c is using the PATH from /etc/environment.

Equivalent of `mkdir -p`. It will create all parent directories.
Example: `useradd -d /home2/testu1 -m testu1`
Based on https://github.com/shadow-maint/shadow/pull/2 by Thorsten Kukuk
and Thorsten Behrens which was Code from pwdutils 3.2.2 with slight adaptations.
Adapted to so it applies to current code.
Otherwise our spw_next() will cause us to skip an entry.
Ideally we'd be able to do an swp_rewind(1), but I don't
see a helper for this.

Translate remaining strings to Norwegian bokmål (nb). Also, cure previous translation of excessive anglicism and apply a more consistent use of actual Norwegian syntax.
This is necessary to match the kernel-side policy of "self-mapping in a
user namespace is fine, but you cannot drop groups" -- a policy that was
created in order to stop user namespaces from allowing trivial privilege
escalation by dropping supplementary groups that were "blacklisted" from
certain paths.
This is the simplest fix for the underlying issue, and effectively makes
it so that unless a user has a valid mapping set in /etc/subgid (which
only administrators can modify) -- and they are currently trying to use
that mapping -- then /proc/$pid/setgroups will be set to deny. This
workaround is only partial, because ideally it should be possible to set
an "allow_setgroups" or "deny_setgroups" flag in /etc/subgid to allow
administrators to further restrict newgidmap(1).
We also don't write anything in the "allow" case because "allow" is the
default, and users may have already written "deny" even if they
technically are allowed to use setgroups. And we don't write anything if
the setgroups policy is already "deny".
