telnet: Prevent buffer overflow in the user prompt for SRA
The Secure RPC authenticator for telnet prompts the local user for the
username to use for authentication. Previously it was using sprintf()
into a buffer of 256 bytes, but the username received over the wire
can be up to 255 bytes long which would overflow the prompt buffer.
Fix this in two ways: First, use snprintf() and check for overflow.
If the prompt buffer overflows, fail authentication without prompting
the user. Second, add 10 bytes to the buffer size to account for the
overhead of the prompt so that a maximally sized username fits.
While here, replace a bare 255 in the subsequent telnet_gets call with
an expression using sizeof() the relevant buffer.
