From: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau@redhat.com>

The glib function was introduced in 2.64. It's a safer version of
getpwnam, and also simpler to use than getpwnam_r.

Currently, it's only use by the next patch in qemu-ga, which doesn't
(well well...) need the thread safety guarantees. Since the fallback
version is still unsafe, I would rather keep the _qemu postfix, to make
sure it's not being misused by mistake. When/if necessary, we can
implement a safer fallback and drop the _qemu suffix.
