[PATCH 3/3] ident: loosen getpwuid error in non-strict mode

If the user has not specified an identity and we have to turn to getpwuid() to find the username or gecos field, we die immediately when getpwuid fails (e.g., because the user does not exist). This is OK for making a commit, where we have set IDENT_STRICT and would want to bail on bogus input.
