More use of getpwuid_r() directly
Remove src/port/user.c, call getpwuid_r() directly. This reduces some complexity and allows better control of the error behavior. For example, the old code would in some circumstances silently truncate the result string, or produce error message strings that the caller wouldn't use. src/port/user.c used to be called src/port/thread.c and contained various portability complications to support thread-safety. These are all obsolete, and all but the user-lookup functions have already been removed. This patch completes this by also removing the user-lookup functions. Also convert src/backend/libpq/auth.c to use getpwuid_r() for thread-safety. Originally, I tried to be overly correct by using sysconf(_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX) to get the buffer size for getpwuid_r(), but that doesn't work on FreeBSD. All the OS where I could find the source code internally use 1024 as the suggested buffer size, so I just ended up hardcoding that. The previous code used BUFSIZ, which is an unrelated constant from stdio.h, so its use seemed inappropriate.
