    initgroups(3): Fix return value on allocation failure
    
    We must not return ENOMEM, but rather -1 with 'errno' set to ENOMEM, as
    described in the manual page and as other implementations are doing.
    A malloc() failure actually already sets ENOMEM for us.  Add comments
    indicating which function set 'errno' each time we return.
    
    While here, improve style and remove useless headers.
