id: do print the AFS-specific nameless group ID (called a PAG)
In 6.11, we mistakenly suppressed the printing of certain group IDs,
thinking they were useless AFS-specific artifacts.
This change reverts that, so now they are printed once again.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.org.fsf.announce/867/focus=13345
This also reverts the bug-fix that applied solely to the new code
used to avoid printing those IDs
Revert "id bug fix: don't point to potentially clobbered static storage"
This reverts commit f7d1c59c224f81a8bab5fa2afcaf815988f50467.
Revert "Work around AFS bug: id and groups would print invalid group number."
This reverts commit b7a836c0a3524cda8ef79c30c3fe7ea759ae4656.
Revert "* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Accommodate a C99-ism in id.c."
This reverts commit d44893c5dba4150b4ded9cf6aad316c1ef620c9f.
