Compilers are allowed to and do optimize memset(3) calls away for
pointers not accessed in the future. Since the memzero wrappers purpose
is exactly to unconditionally override memory (e.g. for stored
passwords) do not implement via regular memset(3), but via either
memset_s(3), explicit_bzero(3) or a hand written implementation using
volatile pointers.

run_part() and run_parts() do not modify their directory, name and
action arguments.
Also include the header in the implementation to provide the prototypes.

C89 defined isdigit as a function that tests for any decimal-digit
character, defining the decimal digits as 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9.
I don't own a copy of C89 to check, but check in C17:
7.4.1.5
5.2.1
More specifically:
> In both the source and execution basic character sets, the value
> of each character after 0 in the above list of decimal digits
> shall be one greater than the value of the previous.
And since in ascii(7), the character after '9' is ':', it's highly
unlikely that any implementation will ever accept any
_decimal digit_ other than 0..9.
POSIX simply defers to the ISO C standard.
This is exactly what we wanted from ISDIGIT(c), so just use it.
Non-standard implementations might have been slower or considered
other characters as digits in the past, but let's assume
implementations available today conform to ISO C89.

It wasn't being used at all. Let's remove it.
Use isdigit(3) directly in comments that referenced it.
Also, in those comments, remove an outdated reference to the fact
that ISDIGIT_LOCALE(c) might evaluate its argument more than once,
which could be true a few commits ago, until
IN_CTYPE_DEFINITION(c) was removed. Previously, the definition
for ISDIGIT_LOCALE(c) was:
#if defined (STDC_HEADERS) || (!defined (isascii) && !defined (HAVE_ISASCII))
# define IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN(c) 1
#else
# define IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN(c) isascii(c)
#endif
#define ISDIGIT_LOCALE(c) (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN (c) && isdigit (c))
Which could evaluate 'c' twice on pre-C89 systems (which I hope
don't exist nowadays).

Due to the recent removal of IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN(), the uppercase
macros that wrapped these standard calls are now defined to be
equivalent. Therefore, there's no need for the wrappers, and it
is much more readable to use the standard calls directly.
However, hold on with ISDIGIT*(), since it's not so obvious what
to do with it.

The recent removal of STDC_HEADERS made IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN be defined
to 1 unconditionally. Remove the now unnecessary definition, and
propagate its truthness to expressions where it was used.

We're in 2021. C89 is everywhere; in fact, there are many other
assumptions in the code that wouldn't probably hold on
pre-standard C environments. Let's simplify and assume that C89
is available.
The specific assumptions are that:
- <string.h>, and <stdlib.h> are available
- strchr(3), strrchr(3), and strtok(3) are available
- isalpha(3), isspace(3), isdigit(3), and isupper(3) are available
I think we can safely assume we have all of those.

memset(3) has been in standard C since C89. It is also in
POSIX.1-2001, in SVr4, and in 4.3BSD (see memset(3) and memset(3p)).
We can assume that this function is always available.

sleep 2s before running newxidmap - it seems we were sometimes
racing, causing newxidmap to fail.
Make sure to remove /tmp/test-xidmap, for some reason they
were sometimes still there, causing test to fail.
Fix some irregular tabbing.

PARAMETERS:
According to the C2x charter, I reordered the parameters 'size'
and 'buf' from previously existing date_to_str() definitions.
C2x charter:
> 15. Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) should be
> self-documenting when possible. In particular, the order of
> parameters in function declarations should be arranged such that
> the size of an array appears before the array. The purpose is to
> allow Variable-Length Array (VLA) notation to be used. This not
> only makes the code's purpose clearer to human readers, but also
> makes static analysis easier. Any new APIs added to the Standard
> should take this into consideration.
I used 'long' for the date parameter, as some uses of the function
need to pass a negative value meaning "never".
FUNCTION BODY:
I didn't check '#ifdef HAVE_STRFTIME', which old definitions did,
since strftime(3) is guaranteed by the C89 standard, and all of
the conversion specifiers that we use are also specified by that
standard, so we don't need any extensions at all.

The build was failing with duplicate symbol errors with -fno-common.
This is the default in GCC 10 and later, and explicitly enabled in some
distributions to catch problems like this. There were two causes:
- Prog and shadow_logfd were defined in a header file that was included
in multiple other files. Fix this by defining them once in
shadowlog.c, and having extern declarations in the header.
- Most of the tools (except id/nologin) also define a Prog variable,
which is not intended to alias the one in the library. Fix
this by renaming Prog in the library to shadow_progname, which also
matches the new accessor functions for it.
