Subject: [PATCH] Increase NGROUPS_MAX from 32 to 1024

Such a restrictive value for NGROUPS_MAX makes it impossible to have a musl-based system with a user belonging to more than 32 groups. If done on the root user, this will break your system.
It also makes it impossible to use certain functions in binaries that have been compiled with musl.

This new value is still very far from Linux's NGROUPS_MAX of 65536 that has been there since Linux 2.6.4 but this is at least one tiny step in the right direction while maintainers investigate how to match Linux's value.
