Replace the -q option to pwd_mkdb with a test for PW_SCAN_BIG_IDS in
the environment. This allows big ID warnings to be suppressed for
vipw and chpass as well.
Since the environment variable test is only performed for callers
of pw_scan() that do not set pw_big_ids_warning, the test can still
be overriden. Currently, chpass and pwd_mkdb are the only users
of pw_scan() and neither of them overrides the environment variable
test.
