[PATCH] posix: Deprecate group_member for Linux

The alloca usage in group_member could lead to stack overflow on Linux.
Removing the alloca usage would require group_member to handle the error
condition where memory could not be allocated and that cannot be done
since group_member returns a boolean. Thus deprecate group_member. Add
a testcase.
