entry having stepping value of zero can cause crontab to hang there,
and if the main crontab is being changed in this way, then cron(8)
will keep spining.

monthly and weekly, respectively. Also fix the @yearly shortcut so
that it doesn't execute daily during January. OpenBSD and NetBSD also
appear to have this bug.

e->cmd. free_entry() now does the right thing with
partially-initialized structures.
load_entry(): Don't call env_free() on e->envp throughout the routine
before jumping to eof; the free_entry() call at that label will take
care of it. The previous behavior resulted in e->envp being free'd
twice (well, the second time would usually result in a crash, but
that's besides the point); once in load_entry(), and once in
free_entry() after the former called the latter. Also note that the
check added to free_entry() (above) doesn't help, since e->envp wasn't
reset to NULL after env_free().

Use getpwnam before getpwuid since two users with same uids can exists
(affects new login classes code only)
The same fixes as in inetd: by default run `system crontab things' with
daemon login class now, not restrict them to user class breaking
compatibility with old way (so-called nobody limits problem)
Implement user[:group][/login-class] syntax in system crontab
for more flexible control (the same as in inetd)
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
