Hi,

GNU/Hurd doesn't have PATH_MAX or MAXHOSTNAMELEN (arbitrarily long strings can
be used). Since attempting to replace every instance of static allocation with
dynamic buffer management would make for a very intrusive patch, I'm proposing
to just define the limits as alternative.

I took care to use the same limits Rump namespace has, just to avoid accidental
cross-definition of a different value causing damage somewhere (e.g. overflows
or such).
