In variadic functions we still do the cast. In POSIX, it's not
necessary, since NULL is required to be of type 'void *', and 'void *'
is guaranteed to have the same alignment and representation as 'char *'.
However, since ISO C still doesn't mandate that, and moreover they're
doing dubious stuff by adding nullptr, let's be on the cautious side.
Also, C++ requires that NULL is _not_ 'void *', but either plain 0 or
some magic stuff.

We do need the unoptimized version of csrand_uniform() for high values
of `n`, since the optimized version depends on having __int128, and it's
not available on several platforms, including ARMv7, IA32, and MK68k.
This reverts commit 848f53c1d3c1362c86d3baab6906e1e4419d2634; however,
I applied some tweaks to the reverted commit.

It is common to use the expression 'sizeof(x) * CHAR_BIT' to mean the
width in bits of a type or object. Now that there are _WIDTH macros for
some types, indicating the number of bits that they use, it makes sense
to wrap this calculation in a macro of a similar name.

The old code didn't produce very good random numbers. It had a bias.
And that was from performing some unnecessary floating-point
calculations that overcomplicate the problem.

This API is similar to arc4random_uniform(3). However, for an input of
0, this function is equivalent to csrand(), while arc4random_uniform(0)
returns 0.
This function will be used to reimplement csrand_interval() as a wrapper
around this one.
The current implementation of csrand_interval() doesn't produce very good
random numbers. It has a bias. And that comes from performing some
unnecessary floating-point calculations that overcomplicate the problem.
Looping until the random number hits within bounds is unbiased, and
truncating unwanted bits makes the overhead of the loop very small.
We could reduce loop overhead even more, by keeping unused bits of the
random number, if the width of the mask is not greater than
ULONG_WIDTH/2, however, that complicates the code considerably, and I
prefer to be a bit slower but have simple code.
BTW, Björn really deserves the copyright for csrand() (previously known
as read_random_bytes()), since he rewrote it almost from scratch last
year, and I kept most of its contents. Since he didn't put himself in
the copyright back then, and BSD-3-Clause doesn't allow me to attribute
derived works, I won't add his name, but if he asks, he should be put in
the copyright too.

These functions implement bit manipulation APIs, which will be added to
C23, so that in the far future, we will be able to replace our functions
by the standard ones, just by adding the stdc_ prefix, and including
<stdbit.h>.
However, we need to avoid UB for an input of 0, so slightly deviate from
C23, and use a different name (with _wrap) for distunguishing our API
from the standard one.

Instead of using volatile pointers to prevent the compiler from
optimizing the call away, use a memory barrier.
This requires support for embedded assembly, which should be fine after
the recent requirement bumps.
memset_s() has a different signature than memset(3) or explicit_bzero(),
thus the current code would not compile. Also memset_s()
implementations are quite rare.
Use the C23 standardized version memset_explicit(3).

- Since strncpy(3) is not designed to write strings, but rather
(null-padded) character sequences (a.k.a. unterminated strings), we
had to manually append a '\0'. strlcpy(3) creates strings, so they
are always terminated. This removes dependencies between lines, and
also removes chances of accidents.
- Repurposing strncpy(3) to create strings requires calculating the
location of the terminating null byte, which involves a '-1'
calculation. This is a source of off-by-one bugs. The new code has
no '-1' calculations, so there's almost-zero chance of these bugs.
- strlcpy(3) doesn't padd with null bytes. Padding is relevant when
writing fixed-width buffers to binary files, when interfacing certain
APIs (I believe utmpx requires null padding at lease in some
systems), or when sending them to other processes or through the
network. This is not the case, so padding is effectively ignored.
- strlcpy(3) requires that the input string is really a string;
otherwise it crashes (SIGSEGV). Let's check if the input strings are
really strings:
- lib/fields.c:
- 'cp' was assigned from 'newft', and 'newft' comes from fgets(3).
- lib/gshadow.c:
- strlen(string) is calculated a few lines above.
- libmisc/console.c:
- 'cons' comes from getdef_str, which is a bit cryptic, but seems
to generate strings, I guess.1
- libmisc/date_to_str.c:
- It receives a string literal. :)
- libmisc/utmp.c:
- 'tname' comes from ttyname(3), which returns a string.
- src/su.c:
- 'tmp_name' has been passed to strcmp(3) a few lines above.

On Linux, utmpx and utmp are identical. However, documentation (manual
pages) covers utmp, and just says about utmpx that it's identical to
utmp. It seems that it's preferred to use utmp, at least by reading the
manual pages.
Moreover, we were defaulting to utmp (utmpx had to be explicitly enabled
at configuration time). So, it seems safer to just make it permanent,
which should not affect default builds.

There are several issues with getpass(3).
Many implementations of it share the same issues that the infamous
gets(3). In glibc it's not so terrible, since it's a wrapper
around getline(3). But it still has an important bug:
If the password is long enough, getline(3) will realloc(3) memory,
and prefixes of the password will be laying around in some
deallocated memory.
See the getpass(3) manual page for more details, and especially
the commit that marked it as deprecated, which links to a long
discussion in the linux-man@ mailing list.
So, readpassphrase(3bsd) is preferrable, which is provided by
libbsd on GNU systems. However, using readpassphrase(3) directly
is a bit verbose, so we can write our own wrapper with a simpler
interface similar to that of getpass(3).
One of the benefits of writing our own interface around
readpassphrase(3) is that we can hide there any checks that should
be done always and which would be error-prone to repeat every
time. For example, check that there was no truncation in the
password.
Also, use malloc(3) to get the buffer, instead of using a global
buffer. We're not using a multithreaded program (and it wouldn't
make sense to do so), but it's nice to know that the visibility of
our passwords is as limited as possible.
erase_pass() is a clean-up function that handles all clean-up
correctly, including zeroing the entire buffer, and then
free(3)ing the memory. By using [[gnu::malloc(erase_pass)]], we
make sure that we don't leak the buffers in any case, since the
compiler will be able to enforce clean up.
