Proposal: check and read /etc/{passwd,group} less frequently.

I feel that there is no need to check and read
/etc/{passwd,group} on every getpw* and getgw* functions.

Is it enough frequent that the check is held only in internal_getlogin?
If so, read_etc_{passwd,group} don't need to support multi threads
and can be more simple.
