  realpath returns an allocated string when the result exceeds PATH_MAX,
which is unexpected when its second argument is not NULL.  This results
in the second argument (resolved) being uninitialized and also results
in a memory leak since the caller expects resolved to be the same as the
returned value.

Return NULL and set errno to ENAMETOOLONG if the result exceeds
PATH_MAX.  This fixes [BZ #28770], which is CVE-2021-3998.

CCing Paul because I believe he might want to fix it on gnulib as well.

Looks good, it just need to fix the Hurd build below.

This fails to build on Hurd, so I am not sure if it would be better to just
set it as UNSUPPORTED in this case or use the assumption on realpath:

  #ifdef PATH_MAX
  size_t path_max = PATH_MAX;
  #else
  size_t path_max = pathconf ("/", _PC_PATH_MAX);
  path_max = path_max < 0 ? 1024 : path_max <  ? path_max : PTRDIFF_MAX;
  #endif

Ahh yes, I'll fix up the test for hurd using this snippet.
