libudev-util.c: Handle -1 return from sysconf(_SC_GET{PW,GR}_R_SIZE_MAX)
POSIX says: Note that sysconf(_SC_GETGR_R_SIZE_MAX) may return -1 if there is no hard limit on the size of the buffer needed to store all the groups returned. The example from POSIX uses a default buffer size of 1024 in that case. Signed-off-by: Michael Forney <mforney@mforney.org>
