Andrey Semashev ed5f5aa080 Refactored current_path() and read_symlink(), corrected errno handling.

The current_path() and read_symlink() algorithms had the potential to cause
memory exhaustion as they were looping trying to allocate exponentially larger
buffers without limit. Now the common limit is defined to 16MiB, the library
will not accept larger paths from the system calls. This is mostly a precaution
against broken or maliciously tampered with filesystems. Also, the functions
will start with a larger stack-based buffer to avoid dynamic memory allocation
at all in the best case scenario.

Also, increased the size of the buffer used by copy_file().

Corrected errno uses in a few places and made sure errno is read before it could
be modified by any system calls made by the error handling machinery.
