build: use getgr*_nomembers functions on Interix
Interix provides faster replacements for getgr{gid,nam,ent} where group member information is not fetched from domain controllers. This makes 'id' usable on domain controlled interix boxes. * m4/jm-macros.m4: Check for _nomembers functions. * src/system.h: Redefine function to _nomembers when available.
