Subject: [PATCH 66/84] su: clean up groups initialization
This patch does not change any su/runuser behaviour, code changes:
* don't use huge groups[NGROUPS_MAX]; the array has 256k, but we need
it only occasionally when -G/-g specified.
* the current code uses groups[0] for -g and the rest for -G, this patch adds
'gid' to remember -g argument to avoid memmove()
* add function add_supp_group() to simplify su_main()
* add note about -G and -g relation to the man pages (undocumented now)
