libshouldbeinlibc: Add nullauth.{c,h}

setnullauth () obtains an empty authentication handle and uses it for
further authentication purposes.  This effectively drops all Unix
privileges.

* libshouldbeinlibc/nullauth.c: New file.
* libshouldbeinlibc/nullauth.h: Likewise.
* libshouldbeinlibc/Makefile: Add nullauth.{c,h}.
