id: handle systems without getgroups support
If getgroups failed with ENOSYS, mgetgroups would unnecessarily fail, and that provoked id into freeing an uninitialized pointer. Meanwhile, we were not using xalloc_die properly. Both issues are better solved in gnulib, by introducing xgetgroups; this patch uses the new interface. Regression introduced by commit 6a31fd8d7. * gnulib: Update, for mgetgroups improvments. * src/id.c (print_full_info): Adjust caller to die on allocation failure, and no longer worry about ENOSYS. * src/group-list.c (print_group_list): Likewise. * src/setuidgid.c (main): Likewise. * NEWS: Mention the fix. * THANKS: Update. Reported by Scott Harrison.
