pwd_mkdb: limit db entries to _PW_BUF_LEN to match libc
Otherwise, it is possible to create a passwd(5) entry that is too
large for getpwent(3), which ignores database entries larger than
_PW_BUF_LEN. This adds a check in db_store() so that we do not
store an entry larger than getpwent(3) can read. Callers of
pwd_mkdb(8), typically via pw_mkdb(3), already check for failure.
In most cases, the checks in chpass(1) will prevent a user from
creating an entry that is too large by changing their gecos field.
However, it is only when storing the db record that we know the
true size.
