[PATCH 06/18] posix: Remove glob GET_LOGIN_NAME_MAX usage


Current glob implementation allows non limited user name for home
directory construction on GLOB_TILDE case.  To accomplish it glob
either construct a name on stack if size are small enough (based
on current alloca_used) value in heap otherwise.

There is no actual login to resize the buffer in case of the resizing
the buffer in case of ERANGE, so a static buffer using glibc default
LOGIN_NAME_MAX is suffice.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.

	* posix/glob.c (LOGIN_NAME_MAX): Define if not defined.
	(glob): Use static buffer for user_name on getlogin_r.
