	basesrc/usr.bin/su: Makefile su.1 su.c

Log Message:
If SU_INDIRECT_GROUP is defined (it is by default), then su will
consider that SUGROUP and ROOTAUTH group contain the names of
users and groups.  If user is not found in the list check_ingroup()
recurses on each member until either user is found or end of chain
is reached.

The above allows su's use of the wheel group to be extended to a large
number of users without necessarily putting them in group wheel, and
in a way that will work over NIS that simply extending the line length
limit in getgrent.c cannot.
