On Mac OS X, the getlogin_r test fails. The cause is that when the buffer size
is exactly as large as the login name (without terminating NUL), the Mac OS X
implementation does not return ERANGE; nor does it return the login name without
terminating NUL; no: it truncates the login name! So, when I pass a buffer of
size 5 bytes, and getlogin_r fills it with the string "brun", the login name
might be "brun" or "bruno" - one needs to call getlogin_r a second time in order
to find out.
This fixes it.

getlogin_r: Work around bug in Mac OS X 10.12.
* m4/getlogin_r.m4 (gl_FUNC_GETLOGIN_R): Test also against the Mac OS X
bug.
* lib/getlogin_r.c (getlogin_r): When getlogin_r returns a string of the
given size minus 1, call getlogin_r a second time, on a larger buffer.
* modules/getlogin_r (Depends-on): Add malloca.
* doc/posix-functions/getlogin_r.texi: Mention the Mac OS X bug.
