For some reason, the first test - ONLY on github - seems to not

So just run the first test twice, and ignore the first failure.
It messes with the expected results.

write_mapping() will do the following:
openat(proc_dir_fd, map_file, O_WRONLY);
An attacker could create a directory containing a symlink named
"uid_map" pointing to any file owned by root, and thus allow him to
overwrite any root-owned file.
Closes#635
newuidmap and newgidmap currently take an integner pid as
the first argument, determining the process id on which to
act. Accept also "fd:N", where N must be an open file
descriptor to the /proc/pid directory for the process to
act upon. This way, if you
exec 10</proc/99
newuidmap fd:10 100000 0 65536
and pid 99 dies and a new process happens to take pid 99 before
newuidmap happens to do its work, then since newuidmap will use
openat() using fd 10, it won't change the mapping for the new
process.
Example:
// terminal 1:
serge@jerom ~/src/nsexec$ ./nsexec -W -s 0 -S 0 -U
about to unshare with 10000000
Press any key to exec (I am 129176)
// terminal 2:
serge@jerom ~/src/shadow$ exec 10</proc/129176
serge@jerom ~/src/shadow$ sudo chown root src/newuidmap src/newgidmap
serge@jerom ~/src/shadow$ sudo chmod u+s src/newuidmap
serge@jerom ~/src/shadow$ sudo chmod u+s src/newgidmap
serge@jerom ~/src/shadow$ ./src/newuidmap fd:10 0 100000 10
serge@jerom ~/src/shadow$ ./src/newgidmap fd:10 0 100000 10

We can't use a pointer that was input to realloc(3), nor any pointers
that point to reallocated memory, without making sure that the memory
wasn't moved. If we do, the Behavior is Undefined.

Use of these macros, apart from the benefits mentioned in the commit
that adds the macros, has some other good side effects:
- Consistency in getting the size of the object from sizeof(type),
instead of a mix of sizeof(type) sometimes and sizeof(*p) other
times.
- More readable code: no casts, and no sizeof(), so also shorter lines
that we don't need to cut.
- Consistency in using array allocation calls for allocations of arrays
of objects, even when the object size is 1.

This macros have several benefits over the standard functions:
- The type of the allocated object (not the pointer) is specified as an
argument, which improves readability:
- It is directly obvious what is the type of the object just by
reading the macro call.
- It allows grepping for all allocations of a given type.
This is admittedly similar to using sizeof() to get the size of the
object, but we'll see why this is better.
- In the case of reallocation macros, an extra check is performed to
make sure that the previous pointer was compatible with the allocated
type, which can avoid some mistakes.
- The cast is performed automatically, with a pointer type derived from
the type of the object. This is the best point of this macro, since
it does an automatic cast, where there's no chance of typos.
Usually, programmers have to decide whether to cast or not the result
of malloc(3). Casts usually hide warnings, so are to be avoided.
However, these functions already return a void *, so a cast doesn't
really add much danger. Moreover, a cast can even add warnings in
this exceptional case, if the type of the cast is different than the
type of the assigned pointer. Performing a manual cast is still not
perfect, since there are chances that a mistake will be done, and
even ignoring accidents, they clutter code, hurting readability.
And now we have a cast that is synced with sizeof.
- Whenever the type of the object changes, since we perform an explicit
cast to the old type, there will be a warning due to type mismatch in
the assignment, so we'll be able to see all lines that are affected
by such a change. This is especially important, since changing the
type of a variable and missing to update an allocation call far away
from the declaration is easy, and the consequences can be quite bad.

Indeed, it always failed. I made a mistake when writing agetpass(),
assuming that readpassphrase(3) would keep newlines.

Instead, I added an extra byte to the allocation to allow a maximum
password length of PASS_MAX (which is the maximum for getpass(3), which
we're replacing.
While doing that, I notice that my previous implementation also had
another bug (minor): The maximum password length was PASS_MAX - 1
instead of PASS_MAX. That's also fixed in this commit.

Some programs don't support `(uint16_t) -1` or `(uint32_t) -1` as user
or group IDs. This is because `-1` is used as an error code or as an
unspecified ID, e.g. in `chown(2)` parameters, and in the past, `gid_t`
and `uid_t` have changed width. For legacy reasons, those values have
been kept reserved in programs today (for example systemd does this; see
the documentation in the link below).
This should not be confused with catching overflow in the ID values,
since that is already caught by our ERANGE checks. This is about not
using reserved values that have been reserved for legacy reasons.
