According to the POSIX specification of `getgrnam_r()` the result of
`sysconf(_SC_GETGR_R_SIZE_MAX)` is an initial value suggested for the
size of the buffer, and `ERANGE` signals that insufficient storage was
supplied. So if we get `ERANGE`, we try again with a buffer twice as
big, and so on, instead of failing.
As stated by RFC 5890, U-Labels might be up to 252 Unicode code points
long. This can be fixed in 7.1+ as well, but there might potentially be
issues in some existing apps expecting the output to be max 255 octets
long. Thus it seems to be safer to not to touch stable branches.
The checks can issue reads below and above the temporary buffer. A read
itself doesn't seem dangerous, but the condition result can be
arbitrary. Such reads have to be avoided. Likely this patch should be
backported.

This change results in using the same buffer for multiple
stdio events which should fix inconsistencies of handling
messages that are not ended with a new line and possibly
very long messages that are split to multiple events.
Basically, the algorithm to append a converted string to an existing
`smart_str` works by increasing the `smart_str` buffer, to let `iconv`
convert characters until there is no more space, to set the new length
of the `smart_str` and to repeat until there is no more input.
Formerly, the new length calculation has been wrong, though, since we
would have to take the old `out_len` into account (`buf_growth -
old_out_len - out_len`). However, since there is no need to take the
old `out_len` into account when increasing the `smart_str` buffer, we
can simplify the fix, avoiding an additional variable.
We must not ignore erroneous characters in mime headers, but rather let
iconv_mime_decode() fail in this case, issuing the usual notice
regarding illegal characters.
We have to cater to the possibility that `=?` is not the start of an
encoded-word, but rather a literal `=?`. If a line break is found
while we're still looking for the charset, we can safely assume that
it's a literal `=?`, and act accordingly.
If we're expecting the start of an encoded word (`=?`), but instead of
the question mark get a line break (CR or LF), we must not append it to
the `pretval`.
The minimum length of an encoded-word is actually the pure encoding
overhead plus the length of the `output-charset` plus the minimum unit
of encoded text, which is 4 for B-encoding and (for simplicity) 3 for
Q-encoding. We also cater to the possibility that we need further
encoded words, which would be split by the `line-break-chars` followed
by a space character. Obviously, the former `out_charset_len + 12` is
too simplistic and wrong in the given case (where the magic number
would be 13).
These simplifications are somewhat wasteful, but iconv_mime_encode()
with Q-encoding is wasteful anyway (see bug 66828[1]), and the proper
solution to convert the whole input to the desired output charset
upfront, and applying the encoding afterwards appears too much a change
for the stable releases.

We work around this peculiarity of libxml by using xmlNodeSetContent(),
which does not exhibit this behavior. This also saves us from manually
calculating the string length.
