HP-UX 11 limits password length to 8 characters

HP-UX 11 has a getpass() function that returns "a null-terminated string of
at most 8 characters", according to the man page.  It doesn't have a
getpassphrase() function.

I need to use CVS on HP to reach a CVSNT server in a domain where shortening
passwords isn't really an option.  I added the attached file to the lib
directory of CVS 1.11.6 and modified Makefile's am_libcvs_a_OBJECTS, and it
seems to work...

 <<getpass.c>>
