build: tolerate unlimited group size
POSIX allows sysconf(_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX) to return -1 if there is no fixed limit, and requires ERANGE errors to track real size. Model our behavior after the example in POSIX itself: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/getpwuid_r.html Also, on error for get*_r functions, errno is undefined, and the real error was the return value. * src/util/util.c (virGetUserEnt, virGetUserID, virGetGroupID) (virSetUIDGID): Cope with sysconf failure or too small buffer. Reported by Matthias Bolte.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
