shared: add nm_utils_uid_to_name()/nm_utils_name_to_uid() helpers

These are inspired by systemd.

We should replace our calls to getpwuid() and getpwnam() with
their thread safe variants.

We run possibly multiple threads (e.g. helper threads from GDBus and
GResolver). It's hard to be sure that they don't also access the
functions.
