Copy and null-terminate NIS+ password file UID and GID entries whose
length is non-zero and are not terminated, in addition to empty ones,
fixing a bug and a compilation issue causing an error with GCC 8:
nss_nisplus/nisplus-parser.c: In function '_nss_nisplus_parse_pwent':
nss_nisplus/nisplus-parser.c:90:7: error: 'strncpy' destination unchanged after copying no bytes [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
strncpy (first_unused, numstr, len);

* nis/nss_nisplus/nisplus-parser.c: Minor optimizations and
cleanups. Avoid copying data if it can be used in the old place.
(no mailing list reference available). Obviously regardless of the
recently added compiler diagnostics causing a build error this code has
been long non-functional, so I guess NIS+ servers have been supplying
strings that are non-empty and have already been null-terminated.
Which in turn made it unnecessary to make a null-terminated copy,
masking this bug.
[BZ #23266]
* nis/nss_nisplus/nisplus-parser.c (_nss_nisplus_parse_pwent):
Copy and null-terminate entries that are not terminated, in
addition to empty ones.
