- Every non-const pointer converts automatically to void *.

I changed the declaration of a few variables in order to allow removing
a cast.
However, I didn't attempt to edit casts inside comparisons, since they
are very delicate. I also kept casts in variadic functions, since they
are necessary, and in allocation functions, because I have other plans
for them.
I also changed a few casts to int that are better as ptrdiff_t.
This change has triggered some warnings about const correctness issues,
which have also been fixed in this patch (see for example src/login.c).

If the file referenced by ENV_TZ has a zero length string, then an out
of boundary write occurs. Also the result can be wrong because it is
assumed that the file will always end with a newline.
Only override a newline character with '\0' to avoid these cases.
This cannot be considered to be security relevant because login.defs
and its contained references to system files should be trusted to begin
with.
Proof of Concept:
1. Compile shadow's su with address sanitizer and --without-libpam
2. Setup your /etc/login.defs to contain ENV_TZ=/etc/tzname
3. Prepare /etc/tzname to contain a '\0' byte at the beginning
`python -c "print('\x00')" > /etc/tzname`
4. Use su
`su -l`
You can see the following output:
`tz.c:45:8: runtime error: index 18446744073709551615 out of bounds for type 'char [8192]'`

It is Undefined Behavior to declare errno (see NOTES in its manual page).
Instead of using the errno dummy declaration, use one that doesn't need
a comment.

The size argument of fgets is an int, not a size_t.
* libmisc/loginprompt.c: Ignore the return value from signal()
when the signal handlers are restored.
* src/chpasswd.c: Cast the return value of time() to a long
integer.

Files with no license use the default 3-clauses BSD license. The copyright
were mostly not recorded; they were updated according to the Changelog.
"Julianne Frances Haugh and contributors" changed to "copyright holders
and contributors".
* src/login.c: "dereferencing type-punned pointer will break
strict-aliasing rules", add a variable indirection: ptr_pam_user.
* lib/commonio.c: do not initialize the sb stat structure.
* lib/pwio.c, lib/shadowio.c, lib/sgroupio.c, lib/groupio.c:
initialize the security context if WITH_SELINUX.
* lib/nscd.c: The service argument is not const (used in the exec*
parameters). This matches with the prototype definition.
* src/groupmems.c: Avoid ++i when i is also used in the same line.
* src/newusers.c: i is positive every time it is compared. Add
cast to unsigned int.
* src/nologin.c: Use a main() prototype with no arguments.
* libmisc/getdate.y: Initialize the type and value fields of the
terminating entry for each TABLE.
* libmisc/tz.c: Use "TZ=CST6CDT" as the default timezone.
