    mgetgroups: add xgetgroups, and avoid ENOSYS failures
    
    ENOSYS implies that there are no supplemental groups, so we can
    treat it the same as a return of 0 from getgroups rather than
    exposing failure to the user.  This in turn fixes a crash in
    coreutils' id, which freed an uninitialized pointer.
    
    * lib/mgetgroups.h (xgetgroups): New prototype.
    * lib/mgetgroups.c (xgetgroups): New wrapper.
    (mgetgroups): Handle ENOSYS.
    * modules/mgetgroups (Depends-on): Add realloc.
