Add some limited anti-foot-shooting support and refuse to load
/etc/crontab as someone's crontab. Users wishing shoot their foot in
this manner may copy /etc/crontab elsewhere. :)

program to read any file which is a valid crontab file.
The fix is based on that used in NetBSD and OpenBSD - we keep the
file open while the user is editing it. This means that files must
be edited in place. Cron attempts to warn you if your editor does
not do this. The fact that the file must be edited in place is also
noted in the man page.
This patch has been confirmed to work by atleast one person on
-security and has been tested locally.

Get the default BINDIR correctly (by including ../Makefile.inc recursively.
Override the default it it is wrong.
Don't override defaults when the defaults are correct.
Use getpwnam before getpwuid since two users with same uids can exists
(affects new login classes code only)
The same fixes as in inetd: by default run `system crontab things' with
daemon login class now, not restrict them to user class breaking
compatibility with old way (so-called nobody limits problem)
Implement user[:group][/login-class] syntax in system crontab
for more flexible control (the same as in inetd)
