Now the build will fail on many non-Linux systems because
utmpx.h is available everywhere but we still use non-POSIX
features. We'll fix this next commit.

The wall command on AIX supports a "-g" option to limit the message
to a group of users by gid. Add compatibility to the Linux version.
Thanks to Sami Kerola <kerolasa@iki.fi> for an initial skeleton
implementation.

The issue with using a temporary file in wall is that wall runs as setgid.
This means that an unprivileged user who runs wall can modify wall's
temporary files, even if those are mode 0600, so the unprivileged user can
edit and effectively suppress the banner. The fix is to simply not use
temporary files.

In include/bits/utmp.h the ut_user and ut_time macros are marked with
comment they are backwards compatibility hacks. It is probably best to
avoid use of these macros where ever possible.

Earlier tabs caused random ragged right indentation, because the tab
length was assumed to be 1 char which is not the case most of the time.

We can not let the user control where TMPDIR is for this tempfile.
This will be where we write the updated passwd file, and must be
capable of being moved atomically with rename(2). Therefore, it
cannot be on a different device, or setpwnam() and vipw/vigr programs
will invariably fail with EXDEV.

descriptor as return value of the function, xfmkstemp() will return
FILE pointer.

The TMPDIR environment is preferred over _PATH_TMP in which a
file is created that is ultimately sent to terminals. This patch
will also fix compiler warnings and removes magical numbers,
which has not explanation.
