Changelog

Changed

Unix: Use getpwuid() instead of getpwuid_r() in implementation
Unix: hostname() now only allocates the amount required, rather than always
256 bytes
Deps: Update minimum libc to 0.2.90
Deps: Update minimum web-sys to 0.3.94
Deps: Update minimum libredox to 0.1.20

Fixed

Unix: Properly handle missing record error for getpwuid() (first sets errno to zero)
Unix: Undefined behavior calling gethostname() for hostnames of exactly 255 bytes (maximum length)
