  MFC r365506 getlogin_r: fix the type of len

  getlogin_r is specified by POSIX to to take a size_t len, not int. Fix our
  version to do the same, bump the symbol version due to ABI change and
  provide compat.

  This was reported to break compilation of Ruby 2.8.

  Some discussion about the necessity of the ABI compat did take place in the
  review. While many 64-bit platforms would likely be passing it in a 64-bit
  register and zero-extended and thus, not notice ABI breakage, some do
  sign-extend (e.g. mips).
