id: fail when getuid, getgid, etc. fail, e.g., on GNU/Hurd

POSIX-conforming getuid, geteuid, etc. functions cannot fail,
but on GNU/Hurd systems and some others, they may.
* src/id.c (main) [__GNU__]: Detect and diagnose any such failure.
* tests/id/gnu-zero-uids: New file.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it to the list.
* tests/init.cfg (require_gnu_): New function.
