replace member strlen with getgr_max and getpw_max

This way we can use buffers in both Zig and C, without the performance
or size penalty.

To better reason about the trade-offs, it is useful to understand how `id(1)`
is implemented, in rough terms:
- lookup user by name ([`getpwent_r(3)`][getpwent_r]).
- lookup user by name ([`getpwent_r(3)`][getpwent]).
- get all gids for the user ([`getgrouplist(3)`][getgrouplist]). Note: it is
actually using `initgroups_dyn`, accepts a uid, and is very poorly
documented.
