getline(3) is much more readable than manually looping. It has some
overhead due to the allocation of a buffer, but that shouldn't be a
problem here. If that was a problem, we could reuse the buffer (thus
making the function non-reentrant), but I don't think that's worth the
extra complexity.
Using rpmatch(3) instead of a simple y/n test provides i18n to the
response checking. We have a fall-back minimalistic implementation for
systems that lack this function (e.g., musl libc).
While we're at it, apply some other minor improvements to this file:
- Remove comment saying which files use this function. That's likely
to get outdated. And anyway, it's just a grep(1) away, so it doesn't
really add any value.
- Remove unnecessary casts to (void) that were used to verbosely ignore
errors from stdio calls. They add clutter without really adding much
value to the code (or I don't see it).
- Remove comments from the function body. They make the function less
readable. Instead, centralize the description of the function into a
man-page-like comment before the function definition. This keeps the
function body short and sweet.
- Add '#include <stdbool.h>', which was missing.
- Minor whitespace style changes (it doesn't hurt the diff at this
point, since most of the affected lines were already touched by other
changes, so I applied my preferred style :).

The tools newgrp and useradd expect waitpid to behave as described in
its manual page. But the notes indicate that if SIGCHLD is ignored,
waitpid behaves differently.
A user could set SIGCHLD to ignore before starting newgrp through exec.
Children of newgrp would not become zombies and their PIDs could be
reassigned before newgrp could call kill with the child pid and SIGCONT.
The useradd tool is not installed setuid, but I have added the default
there as well (copied from vipw).

Do not stop after 79 characters. Read the complete line to avoid
arbitrary limitations.
Proof of Concept:
```
cat > passwd-poc << EOF
root❌0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
root❌0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
root❌0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
EOF
python -c "print(80*'y')" | pwck passwd-poc
```
Two lines should still be within the file because we agreed only once
to remove a duplicated line.

If make fails in a multi-process invocation, the log is pretty much
unreadable. To make it readable, build as much as can be built without
failing. Then run a single-process make again. If we succeeded
previously, this should be a no-op. If not, this run will stop at the
first error, which should be more readable, and will only print the few
lines we're interested in.
This has some side effects: Now we build as much as we can, instead of
failing as early as possible; this may make CI a bit slower. However,
it also has the benefit that you see _all_ the error messages that could
be given, instead of needing to fix the first error to see the next and
so on.

e5905c4b ("Added control character check") introduced checking for
control characters but had the logic inverted, so it rejects all
characters that are not control ones.
Cast the character to `unsigned char` before passing to the character
checking functions to avoid UB.
Use strpbrk(3) for the illegal character test and return early.
Both semanage and libsemanage actually set the user's mls range to the
default of the seuser, which makes more sense and removes a bit of code
for usermod and useradd. More fine-grained details must always be set
with some other tool
(semanage) anyway.

The --gid option accepts a group name or id. When a name is provided, it
is resolved to an id by looking up the name in the group database
(/etc/group).
The --prefix option overides the location of the passwd and group
databases. I suspect the --gid option was overlooked when wiring up the
--prefix option.
useradd --gid already respects --prefix; this change makes usermod
behave the same way.

This commit will serve to document why we shouldn't worry about the
truncation in the call to strlcpy(3). Since we have one more byte in
tmptty than in full_tty, truncation will produce a string that is at
least one byte longer than full_tty. Such a string could never compare
equal, so we're actually handling the truncation in a clever way. Maybe
too clever, but that's why I'm documenting it here.
Now, about the simplification itself:
Since we made sure that both full_tty and tmptty are null-terminated, we
can call strcmp(3) instead of strncmp(3). We can also simplify the
return logic avoiding one branch.

For some reason, the first test - ONLY on github - seems to not
give the '$ ' prompt expected when you spawn 'su testsuite'.
So just run the first test twice, and ignore the first failure.
It messes with the expected results.
We can do better than this in the expect scripts, but let's
