pam: get username once (#974)

* pam: fix username race by using getpwuid_r instead of getpwuid

getpwuid() returns a pointer into a static buffer shared across all
threads. Any getpw*/getpwent call from another thread — including
those made internally by PAM modules during authentication — will
overwrite it before pam_start() reads pw_name, causing hyprlock to
authenticate as a random system user (root, bin, systemd-network)
or fail with 'user unknown'.

Replace with getpwuid_r(), which writes into a caller-supplied buffer,
and copy pw_name into a std::string before calling pam_start().

* pam: get username once

Instead of retrieving the username via getpwuid_r as in a69f526c95,
get the username once when initializing CPam and save it in a string.
This should be sufficent for making sure there are no problems with the
static buffer returned by getpwuid and is simpler.

* misc: clang-format
