Subject: port to GNU hosts, where getuid and friends can fail

* src/groups.c (main):
* src/install.c (need_copy):
* src/su.c (log_su):
* src/test.c (unary_operator):
* src/whoami.c (main):
Don't assume that getuid and friends always succeed.
This fixes the same problem that we recently fixed with 'id'.
