The length of the name returned from the $LOGNAME and $USER can be
very long and it was being concatenated to a fixed length buffer
with no bounds checking. Fix this problem by limiting the length
of the name copied.
Additionally, this name is actually used to create a format string
to be used in adding log file entries so embedded % characters in
the name could confuse *printf(), and embedded whitespace could
confuse a log file parser. Handle the former by escaping each %
with an additional %, and handle the latter by simply stripping it
out.
Clean up the code by moving the variable declarations to the top
of the function, formatting them to conform with style, and moving
intialization elsewhere.
Reduce code indentation by returning early in a couple of places.

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.
sysinstall's new User&group menu will use it, hence it's a 2.2
candidate despite of providing new functionality.
