    glocalvfs: Use thread-safe getpwnam_r() rather than getpwnam()
    
    It’s possible that one VFS operation will happen from a worker thread at
    the same time as another is happening from the main thread, in which
    case the static buffer which getpwnam() uses will be overwritten.
    There’s a chance this will corrupt the results that one of the threads
    receives.
    
    Fix that by using the thread-safe getpwnam_r() version, via the new
    g_unix_get_passwd_entry() function.
    
    Fix the indentation of the surrounding block while we’re there.

    Fixes: #1687
