Add deferred cancellation regression test for getpwuid_r.
The fix in commit 312be3f9f5eab1643d7dcc7728c76d413d4f2640 resolved
several cancellation issues in several APIs.  This regression test is
designed to double check that at least getpwuid_r remainds correctly
implemented and does not provide additional unintended cancellation
points that may leave locks in an inconsistent state.

+/* Test if cancellation of getpwuid_r incorrectly leaves internal
+   function state locked resulting in hang of subsequent calls to
+   getpwuid_r.  The main thread creates a second thread which will do
+   the calls to getpwuid_r.  A semaphore is used by the second thread to
+   signal to the main thread that it is as close as it can be to the
+   call site of getpwuid_r.  The goal of the semaphore is to avoid any
+   cancellable function calls between the sem_post and the call to
+   getpwuid_r.  The main thread then attempts to cancel the second
+   thread.  Without the fixes the cancellation happens at any number of
+   calls to cancellable functions in getpuid_r, but with the fix the
+   cancellation either does not happen or happens only at expected
+   points where the internal state is consistent.  We use an explicit
+   pthread_testcancel call to terminate the loop in a timely fashion
+   if the implementation does not have a cancellation point.  */
