genhomedircon: sysconf can return -1 without failure

Browse Source 
from getpwnam_r(3): "The call sysconf(_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX) returns
either -1, without changing errno, or an initial suggested size for buf.
(If this size is too small, the call fails with ERANGE, in which case
the caller can retry with a larger buffer.)"

The same can happen for _SC_GETGR_R_SIZE_MAX. 1024 appears to be a good
fallback but may need revisiting in the future.

This triggered an error on musl libc but could happen other places too.
