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().

This is a stability fix, not a security fix, because the affected -o
option can only be used by root and it takes a modified passwd file.
If a gecos field for a user has BUFSIZ characters without commas and an
equals sign (i.e. a huge slop/extra field) and chfn is called with -o,
then a buffer overflow occurs.
It is not possible to trigger this with shadow tools. Therefore, the
passwd file must be modified manually.
I have fixed this unlikely case the easiest and cleanest way possible.
Since chfn bails out if more than 80 characters excluding commas are
supposed to be written into gecos field, we can stop processing early on
if -o argument is too long.

Using hard-coded access vector ids is deprecated and can lead to issues with custom SELinux policies.
Switch to `selinux_check_access()`.
Also use the libselinux log callback and log if available to audit.
This makes it easier for users to catch SELinux denials.
Drop legacy shortcut logic for passwd, which avoided a SELinux check if uid 0 changes a password of a user which username equals the current SELinux user identifier.
Nowadays usernames rarely match SELinux user identifiers and the benefit of skipping a SELinux check is negligible.

Some distributions, notably Fedora, have the following order of nsswitch
modules by default:
passwd: sss files
group: sss files
The advantage of serving local users through SSSD is that the nss_sss
module has a fast mmapped-cache that speeds up NSS lookups compared to
accessing the disk an opening the files on each NSS request.
Traditionally, this has been done with the help of nscd, but using nscd
in parallel with sssd is cumbersome, as both SSSD and nscd use their own
independent caching, so using nscd in setups where sssd is also serving
users from some remote domain (LDAP, AD, ...) can result in a bit of
unpredictability.
More details about why Fedora chose to use sss before files can be found
on e.g.:
https://fedoraproject.org//wiki/Changes/SSSDCacheForLocalUsers
or:
https://docs.pagure.org/SSSD.sssd/design_pages/files_provider.html
Now, even though sssd watches the passwd and group files with the help
of inotify, there can still be a small window where someone requests a
user or a group, finds that it doesn't exist, adds the entry and checks
again. Without some support in shadow-utils that would explicitly drop
the sssd caches, the inotify watch can fire a little late, so a
combination of commands like this:
getent passwd user || useradd user; getent passwd user
can result in the second getent passwd not finding the newly added user
as the racy behaviour might still return the cached negative hit from
the first getent passwd.
This patch more or less copies the already existing support that
shadow-utils had for dropping nscd caches, except using the "sss_cache"
tool that sssd ships.
passwd, shadow, group, gshadow etc. can be managed via nss -
e.g. system default accounts can be specified using nss_altfiles,
rather than in /etc/. Thus despite having default accounts, these
files can be missing on disk and thus should be opened with O_CREATE
whenever they are attempted to be opened in O_RDWR modes.

usage of one of the getpwnam(), getpwuid(), getgrnam(),
getgrgid(), and getspnam() functions. It was noticed on
http://bugs.debian.org/341230 that chfn and chsh use a passwd
structure after calling a pam function, which result in using
information from the passwd structure requested by pam, not the
original one. It is much easier to use the new xget... functions
to avoid these issues. I've checked which call to the original
get... functions could be left (reducing the scope of the
structure if possible), and I've left comments to ease future
reviews (e.g. /* local, no need for xgetpwnam */).
Note: the getpwent/getgrent calls should probably be checked also.

to the new <xx>mem.c files. This avoid linking some utils against
the SELinux library.
