chroot: improve --userspec and --groups look-up

- Support arbitrary numbers in --groups, consistent with
  what is already done for --userspec
- Avoid look-ups entirely for --groups items with a leading '+'
- Support names that are actually numbers in --groups
- Ignore an empty --groups="" option for consistency with --userspec
- Look up both inside and outside the chroot with inside taking
  precedence.  The look-up outside may load required libraries
  to complete the look-up inside the chroot.  This can happen for
  example with a 32 bit chroot on a 64 bit system, where the
  32 bit NSS plugins within the chroot fail to load.

* src/chroot.c (parse_additional_groups): A new function refactored
from set_addition_groups(), to just do the parsing.  The actual
setgroups() call is separated out for calling from the chroot later.
(main): Call parse_user_spec() and parse_additional_groups()
both outside and inside the chroot for the reasons outlined above.
* tests/misc/chroot-credentials.sh: Ensure arbitrary numeric IDs
can be specified without causing look-up errors.
* NEWS: Mention the improvements.
* THANKS.in: Add Norihiro Kamae who initially reported the issue
with a proposed patch.
Also thanks to Dmitry V. Levin for his diagnosis and sample patch.

maint: avoid "attribute-const"-suggesting warning from gcc

* gl/lib/fadvise.c: Use a pragma to turn off this warning option:
-Wsuggest-attribute=const.  Without this change, building with
--enable-gcc-warnings would evoke this error:

    lib/fadvise.c:25:1: error: function might be candidate for\
    attribute 'const' [-Werror=suggest-attribute=const]
ln: with -sr, don't segfault for a TARGET of ''

Prior to this change, "ln -sr '' F" would segfault, attempting
to read path2[1] in relpath.c's path_common_prefix function.
This problem arises whenever canonicalize_filename_mode returns
NULL.
* src/ln.c (convert_abs_rel): Call relpath only when
both canonicalize_filename_mode calls return non-NULL.
* tests/ln/relative.sh: Add a test to trigger this failure.
* THANKS.in: List reporter's name/address.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
