Use a scratch_buffer rather than alloca to avoid potential stack
overflow.

There is no need to call scratch_buffer_free here.  You can move the
scratch_buffer initialization later.

The _SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX will be always NSS_BUFLEN_PASSWD so there is no need to
a scratch_buffer here (similar to sysdeps/posix/cuserid.c assumption).  Since the
functions is historical tricky to be used correctly, I think it should continue to
fail with passwords larger than _SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX.

I removed the scratch_buffer in v2 and used a fixed sized array.
