Harden putpwent, putgrent, putspent, putspent against injection [BZ #18724]
This prevents injection of ':' and '\n' into output functions which use the NSS files database syntax. Critical fields (user/group names and file system paths) are checked strictly. For backwards compatibility, the GECOS field is rewritten instead. The getent program is adjusted to use the put*ent functions in libc, instead of local copies. This changes the behavior of getent if user names start with '-' or '+'.
