Hopefully fix Coverity CID 1008328 (Out-of-bounds write) in /bin/sh.

Description

Hopefully fix Coverity CID 1008328 (Out-of-bounds write) in /bin/sh.

Replace the magic constant 127 in the loop interation count with
"PROMPTLEN - 1".

gethostname() is not guaranteed to NUL terminate the destination
string if it is too short. Decrease the length passed to gethostname()
by one, and add a NUL at the end of the buffer to make sure the
following loop to find the end of the name properly terminates.

The default: case is the likely cause of Coverity CID 1008328. If
i is 126 at the top of the loop interation where the default case
is triggered, i will be incremented to 127 by the default case,
then incremented to 128 at the top of the loop before being compared
to 127 (PROMPTLENT - 1) and terminating the loop. Then the NUL
termination code after the loop will write to ps[128]. Fix by
checking for overflow before incrementing the index and storing the
second character in the buffer.

These fixes are not guaranteed to satisfy Coverity. The code that
increments i in the 'h'/'H' and 'w'/'W' cases may be beyond its
capability to analyze, but the code appears to be safe.
