1. drop 'has_any_range' nss method as it is not useful
2. do not try to create a subid range in newusers when using nss for
subids, since that's not possible.

(cherry picked from commit 88a434adbdcf4a8640793fd58bcd2ba77598349d)
Following alexey-tikhonov's suggestion.
Since we've dropped the 'owner' field in the data returned for
get_subid_ranges, we can just return a single allocated array of
simple structs. This means we can return a ** instead of ***, and
we can get rid of the subid_free_ranges() helper, since the caller
can just free() the returned data.

struct subordinate_range is pretty closely tied to the existing
subid code and /etc/subuid format, so it includes an owner. Dropping
that or even renaming it is more painful than I'd first thought.
So introduce a 'struct subid_range' which is only the start and
count, leaving 'struct subordinate_range' as the owner, start and
count.

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().

Search the SELinux selabel database for the file type to be created.
Not specifying the file mode can cause an incorrect file context to be
returned.
Also prepare contexts in commonio_close() for the generic database
filename, not with the backup suffix appended, to ensure the desired
file context after the final rename.

This retrieved context is just passed to libselinux functions and not
printed or otherwise made available to the outside, so a context
translation to human readable MCS/MLS labels is not needed.

Currently, supplying a relative path via the --prefix flag to the
useradd command triggers a bug in the creation of home directories. The
code seems to unintentionally prepend a leading "/" to all paths,
quietly transforming a relative prefixed home path into an absolute
path. This can be seen in the following strace logs from running
"useradd --create-home --prefix tmp/root squat":
```
access("tmp/root//home/squat", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/mp", F_OK) = 0
access("/mp/root", F_OK) = 0
access("/mp/root/home", F_OK) = 0
access("/mp/root/home/squat", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
mkdir("/mp/root/home/squat", 000) = 0
chown("/mp/root/home/squat", 0, 0) = 0
chmod("/mp/root/home/squat", 0755) = 0
chown("tmp/root//home/squat", 1000, 1000) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
chmod("tmp/root//home/squat", 0700) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
```
Note that the relative path is correctly probed in the beginning and it
is only during the recursive creation that the path is turned into an
absolute path. This invocation results in the creation of a "/mp"
hierarchy in the root of the filesystem.
Similar problems occur when using `--prefix ./tmp/root`.
This commit fixes the handling of relative paths by not assuming that
the given path is anchored with a "/".

Closes#154
When starting any operation to do with subuid delegation, check
nsswitch for a module to use. If none is specified, then use
the traditional /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid files.
Currently only one module is supported, and there is no fallback
to the files on errors. Several possibilities could be considered:
1. in case of connection error, fall back to files
2. in case of unknown user, also fall back to files
etc...
When non-files nss module is used, functions to edit the range
are not supported. It may make sense to support it, but it also
may make sense to require another tool to be used.
libsubordinateio also uses the nss_ helpers. This is how for instance
lxc could easily be converted to supporting nsswitch.
Add a set of test cases, including a dummy libsubid_zzz module. This
hardcodes values such that:
'ubuntu' gets 200000 - 300000
'user1' gets 100000 - 165536
'error' emulates an nss module error
'unknown' emulates a user unknown to the nss module
'conn' emulates a connection error ot the nss module
Changes to libsubid:
Change the list_owner_ranges api: return a count instead of making the array
null terminated.
This is a breaking change, so bump the libsubid abi major number.
Rename free_subuid_range and free_subgid_range to ungrant_subuid_range,
because otherwise it's confusing with free_subid_ranges which frees
memory.
Run libsubid tests in jenkins
Switch argument order in find_subid_owners
Move the db locking into subordinateio.c

Issue #297 reported seeing
*** Warning: Linking the shared library libsubid.la against the

which commit b5fb1b38ee was supposed
to fix. But a few commits later it's back. So try to fix it
in the way the bug reporter suggested. This broke builds some
other ways, namely a few missing library specifications, so add
those.

It's now possible to run commands as other users without shell
interpolation by using "--exec":
Read /etc/shadow as root without specifying user:
```
su --exec /bin/cat -- /etc/shadow
```
Or specify user:
```
su --exec /bin/cat root -- /etc/shadow
```
Mechanical rename distinguishing this variable from intended changes
supporting executing commands without using an interpretive shell
(i.e. no '/bin/sh -c').
In preparation for supporting --exec I was testing the robustness
of "--" handling and it became apparent that things are currently
a bit broken in `su`.
Since "--" is currently of limited utility, as the subsequent
words are simply passed to the shell after "-c","command_string",
it seems to have gone unnoticed for ages.
However, with --exec, it's expected that "--" would be an almost
required separator with every such usage, considering the
following flags must be passed verbatim to execve() and will
likely begin with hyphens looking indistinguishable from any
other flags in lieu of shell interpolation to worry about.
For some practical context of the existing situation, this
invocation doesn't work today:
```
$ su --command ls -- flags for shell
No passwd entry for user 'flags'
$
```
This should just run ls as root with "flags","for","shell"
forwarded to the shell after "-c","ls".
The "--" should block "flags" from being treated as the user.
That particular issue isn't a getopt one per-se, it's arguably
just a bug in su.c's implementation.
It *seemed* like an easy fix for this would be to add a check if
argv[optind-1] were "--" before treating argv[optind] as USER.
But testing that fix revealed getopt was rearranging things when
encountering "--", the "--" would always separate the handled
opts from the unhandled ones. USER would become shifted to
*after* "--" even when it occurred before it!
If we change the command to specify the user, it works as-is:
```
$ su --command ls root -- flags for shell
Password:
testfile
$
```
But what's rather surprising is how that works; the argv winds up:
"su","--command","ls","--","root","flags","for","shell"
with optind pointing at "root".
That arrangement of argv is indistinguishable from omitting the
user and having "root","flags","for","shell" as the stuff after
"--".
This makes it non-trivial to fix the bug of omitting user
treating the first word after "--" as the user, which one could
argue is a potentially serious security bug if you omit the user,
expect the command to run as root, and the first word after "--"
is a valid user, and what follows that something valid and
potentially destructive not only running in unintended form but
as whatever user happened to be the first word after "--".
So, it seems like something important to fix, and getopt seems to
be getting in the way of fixing it properly without being more
trouble than replacing getopt.
In disbelief of what I was seeing getopt doing with argv here, I
took a glance at the getopt source and found the following:
```
/* The special ARGV-element '--' means premature end of options.
Skip it like a null option,
then exchange with previous non-options as if it were an option,
then skip everything else like a non-option. */
if (d->optind != argc && !strcmp (argv[d->optind], "--"))
```
I basically never use getopt personally because ages ago it
annoyed me with its terrible API for what little it brought to
the table, and this brings it to a whole new level of awful.
