p7zip commands silently truncated terminal-entered passwords to 8 characters

[whorfin]

Using

https://pkgsrc.joyent.com/packages/SmartOS/trunk/x86_64/All

on

$ uname -a
SunOS serverbox 5.11 omnios-r151038-c078b41acd i86pc i386 i86pc illumos

and having installed p7zip

I find that long entered passwords are silently truncated to 8 characters...

Basically, because Solaris crippled getpass(), getpassphrase() should be called instead on Illumos.

Same behavior is observed with the omnios-native

 pkg:/compress/p7zip@16.2-151038.0

Reported to omnios-build:
omniosorg/omnios-build#2457

Reported to "upstream" p7zip:
https://sourceforge.net/p/p7zip/bugs/230/

The p7zip report includes a very simple fix.

Can you file this in the pkgsrc repo?

Going to go ahead and resolve this issue since it's also been opened in the pkgsrc project.
