[PATCH 07/18] posix: User LOGIN_NAME_MAX for all user names in glob


This patch limits all user name obtained for GLOB_TILDE to max of
LOGIN_NAME_MAX (256 on glibc) and remove all stack/malloc buffer
handling boilerplate.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.

	* posix/glob.c (glob): Remove alloca usage on user_name for
	GLOB_TILDE.
