Guarded by #ifdef, and defaulting to -1 if _SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX is not
defined (since it is a handy extension, but not present everywhere).
Or not - we only use it inside #if HAVE_FUNC_GETPWNAM_R and friends; so
far, all platforms that have the *_r functions also happen to have a
decent set of sysconf() names where we aren't running into compilation
errors by trying to use _SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX.
But indeed this is the correct response.
