Hi.
I was looking into how to speed up /etc/passwd parsing. Here is a
trivial patch that improves pwdgrp::parse_passwd() by a tiny bit.
Similar change can be applied to pwdgrp::parse_group() as well. The
resulting assembler shows that it avoids recomputing the pointers into
the array.

* passwd.cc (pwdgrp::parse_passwd): Use reference instead of
#define to access current passwd_buf element.
* grp.cc (pwdgrp::parse_group): Use reference instead of #define
to access current group_buf element.
