normally succeed (because root can su to anyone), but pam_acct_mgmt()
will most likely fail, causing su to log a confusing "pam_acct_mgmt:
error in service module" message. To avoid this, call getpwnam()
before pam_acct_mgmt().

sometimes, su will receive a SIGTTOU when parent su tries to set child
su's process group as foreground group, and su will be stopped unexpectly,
ignoring SIGTTOU fixes the problem.

- if operating "as them" (su -l), use pam_{open,close}_session()
- allow PAM to override $HOME (pam_chroot needs this)
- chdir early, because later on we may be chrooted and chdir will fail
Also use pid_t instead of int where applicable.
signal never affects su directly, some shells changes its pgrp at running
or suspended time, so a broadcast SIGTSTP from child will mess up su's job
control.

The remaining problem of converting highly incompatible pointer types
is done by "laundering" the value through a union.
This solves the problem (in my own mind) of how a "const char *" _ever_
actually gets a value in a WARNS=2 world.
for authentication to PAM. This meens that WHEELSU-type logic can
now be effected in the pam.conf "su" configuration stack. While here,
clean up the mess that the code had assumed over years of hacking by
folks using different styles. ANSIfy.
There is more policy in here that can be handed over to PAM. This will
be revisited.
The PAM_FAIL_CHECK and PAM_END macros in su.c came from the util-linux

o In practice: the comment indicates that all but umask and
environmental variables of the users login class are applied when su
occurs, unless -m is used to specify a class. This was incorrect;
in practice, the uid, gids, resources, and priority were set, and
then resources and priority were selectively removed. This meant
that some aspects of the user context were not set, including handling
of login events (wtmp, utmp), as well as the path specified in
login.conf.
o I changed it so that the behavior is the same, but instead,
LOGIN_SETALL is used, and appropriate flags are removed, including
the LOGIN_SETLOGIN and LOGIN_SETPATH entries that were implicitly
not present before. I also updated the comment to reflect
reality, selecting reality as the "correct" behavior.
o This has the practical benefit that as new LOGIN_SET* flags are
introduced, they are supported by su unless specifically disabled.
For example, of a LOGIN_SETLABEL flag is introduced to support
MAC labels determined by the user's login class, then su no longer
has to be modified.
o It might be desirable to have su use LOGIN_SETPATH depending on
its command line parameters, as it might or might not be
considered part of the "environment".

Quieten -Wall a bit.
From Joe Traister:
The previous patch did not propogate the KRBTKFILE environment variable
into the new environment when -l is given to su, making it impossible
for kdestroy to find the ticket file. This patch corrects that problem
as well as the original segfault problem.
(Fixes PR 3903)
