id: fix infinite loop on some systems
Steven Parkes reported that `id -G $USER` went into an infinite loop
on Darwin systems for users in more than 10 groups:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264007
* gl/lib/mgetgroups.c (mgetgroups): Work around buggy getgrouplist
implementations that don't update the required size correctly,
by doubling the result buffer and retrying. Also return the
parameter updated by getgrouplist rather than its return value,
as the documentation doesn't actually state the number of groups
stored is returned by getgrouplist.
* tests/misc/id-groups: Add test to exercise this logic
* tests/Makefile.am: Reference new test
* NEWS: Mention the fix
* THANKS: Update
