If we don't get a username back from `getpwuid`, try again!

It seems our systems are sometimes unreliable at returning a value here,
causing some build failures.  In my testing, it will fail to return a
value on the first attempt, but the second attempt will succeed.  Trying
this five times is thus probably overkill(!), but hopefully is
sufficient to make `Genome::Sys->username` reliable.

If things really go poorly, the user_id is often "good enough" as a
unique per-user value... just one less friendly to the viewer.  However,
it's insufficient to locate a `Genome::Sys::User` object, so anything
depending on real user objects would still fail.
