Hi,

I want to increase MAXLOGNAME in sys/param.h from 17 to 33 to allow 32-character
long usernames, the PR: misc/161091 and misc/133926 already requested for it.

utmpx already allow 32 character long user names.

I plan to bump the __FreeBSD_version at the same time because of the ABI
breakage.

This is simplify life of lots administrator, this value, is a common value for
other operating systems.

Do anyone have objections about it?

regards,
Bapt
