The function is obsolete. It is recommended to use getrlimit(2) instead
(see the manual page for ulimit(3) or the POSIX manual for it). Since
getrlimit(2) is required by POSIX.1-2001, we can rely on it.

There are several issues with getpass(3).
Many implementations of it share the same issues that the infamous
gets(3). In glibc it's not so terrible, since it's a wrapper
around getline(3). But it still has an important bug:
If the password is long enough, getline(3) will realloc(3) memory,
and prefixes of the password will be laying around in some
deallocated memory.
See the getpass(3) manual page for more details, and especially
the commit that marked it as deprecated, which links to a long
discussion in the linux-man@ mailing list.
So, readpassphrase(3bsd) is preferrable, which is provided by
libbsd on GNU systems. However, using readpassphrase(3) directly
is a bit verbose, so we can write our own wrapper with a simpler
interface similar to that of getpass(3).
One of the benefits of writing our own interface around
readpassphrase(3) is that we can hide there any checks that should
be done always and which would be error-prone to repeat every
time. For example, check that there was no truncation in the
password.
Also, use malloc(3) to get the buffer, instead of using a global
buffer. We're not using a multithreaded program (and it wouldn't
make sense to do so), but it's nice to know that the visibility of
our passwords is as limited as possible.
erase_pass() is a clean-up function that handles all clean-up
correctly, including zeroing the entire buffer, and then
free(3)ing the memory. By using [[gnu::malloc(erase_pass)]], we
make sure that we don't leak the buffers in any case, since the
compiler will be able to enforce clean up.

glibc, musl, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD define the MAX() and MIN()

Let's not redefine it here and use the system one, as it's
effectively the same as we define (modulo whitespace).

free(3) accepts NULL, since the oldest ISO C. I guess the
paranoid code was taking care of prehistoric implementations of
free(3). I've never known of an implementation that doesn't
conform to this, so let's simplify this.
Remove xfree(3), which was effectively an equivalent of free(3).

The setuid, setgid, and sticky bits are not copied during copy_tree.
Also start with very restrictive permissions before setting ownerships.
This prevents situations in which users in a group with less permissions
than others could win a race in opening the file before permissions are
removed again.
Proof of concept:
$ echo $HOME
/home/uwu
$ install -o uwu -g fandom -m 604 /dev/null /home/uwu/owo
$ ls -l /home/uwu/owo
-rw----r-- 1 uwu fandom 0 Sep 4 00:00 /home/uwu/owo
If /tmp is on another filesystem, then "usermod -md /tmp/uwu uwu" leads
to this temporary situation:
$ ls -l /tmp/uwu/owo
-rw----r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 4 00:00 /tmp/uwu/owo
This means that between openat and chownat_if_needed a user of group
fandom could open /tmp/uwu/owo and read the content when it is finally
written into the file.
Fixes regression introduced in faeab50e71.
If a directory contains fifos, then openat blocks until the other side
of the fifo is connected as well.
This means that users can prevent "usermod -m" from completing if their
home directories contain at least one fifo.
The groupadd from shadow does not allow upper case group names, the
same is true for the upstream shadow. But distributions like
Debian/Ubuntu/CentOS has their own way to cope with this problem,
this patch is picked up from Fedora [1] to relax the usernames
restrictions to allow the upper case group names, and the relaxation is
POSIX compliant because POSIX indicate that usernames are composed of
characters from the portable filename character set [A-Za-z0-9._-].

Function declarations with no argument declare functions taking an
arbitrary number of arguments. Use the special type void to declare
functions taking no argument.
C89 defined isdigit as a function that tests for any decimal-digit
character, defining the decimal digits as 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9.
I don't own a copy of C89 to check, but check in C17:
7.4.1.5
5.2.1
More specifically:
> In both the source and execution basic character sets, the value
> of each character after 0 in the above list of decimal digits
> shall be one greater than the value of the previous.
And since in ascii(7), the character after '9' is ':', it's highly
unlikely that any implementation will ever accept any
_decimal digit_ other than 0..9.
POSIX simply defers to the ISO C standard.
This is exactly what we wanted from ISDIGIT(c), so just use it.
Non-standard implementations might have been slower or considered
other characters as digits in the past, but let's assume
implementations available today conform to ISO C89.

It wasn't being used at all. Let's remove it.
Use isdigit(3) directly in comments that referenced it.
Also, in those comments, remove an outdated reference to the fact
that ISDIGIT_LOCALE(c) might evaluate its argument more than once,
which could be true a few commits ago, until
IN_CTYPE_DEFINITION(c) was removed. Previously, the definition
for ISDIGIT_LOCALE(c) was:
#if defined (STDC_HEADERS) || (!defined (isascii) && !defined (HAVE_ISASCII))
# define IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN(c) 1
#else
# define IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN(c) isascii(c)
#endif
#define ISDIGIT_LOCALE(c) (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN (c) && isdigit (c))
Which could evaluate 'c' twice on pre-C89 systems (which I hope
don't exist nowadays).

Due to the recent removal of IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN(), the uppercase
macros that wrapped these standard calls are now defined to be
equivalent. Therefore, there's no need for the wrappers, and it
is much more readable to use the standard calls directly.
However, hold on with ISDIGIT*(), since it's not so obvious what
to do with it.

We're in 2021. C89 is everywhere; in fact, there are many other
assumptions in the code that wouldn't probably hold on
pre-standard C environments. Let's simplify and assume that C89
is available.
The specific assumptions are that:
- <string.h>, and <stdlib.h> are available
- strchr(3), strrchr(3), and strtok(3) are available
- isalpha(3), isspace(3), isdigit(3), and isupper(3) are available
I think we can safely assume we have all of those.

PARAMETERS:
According to the C2x charter, I reordered the parameters 'size'
and 'buf' from previously existing date_to_str() definitions.
C2x charter:
> 15. Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) should be
> self-documenting when possible. In particular, the order of
> parameters in function declarations should be arranged such that
> the size of an array appears before the array. The purpose is to
> allow Variable-Length Array (VLA) notation to be used. This not
> only makes the code's purpose clearer to human readers, but also
> makes static analysis easier. Any new APIs added to the Standard
> should take this into consideration.
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.
