gnulib: update for getcwd fix on systems without openat
This fixes a bug in pwd and all getcwd-using applications (for some
uses: df, readlink, stat) when run from a directory whose absolute name
contains more than PATH_MAX / 3 components. For more details, see
http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/commit/?id=f6fe351fc534ae1
* gnulib: Update.
* NEWS (Improvements): Mention it.
