This, and more, is now fixed. I need a second opinion on this patch so I
did not screw anything up.

The logic is that if field 1 (normally the hash) is between 1 and 7
characters, and field 3 and/or 4 are 32 characters, we assume pwdump.

Furthermore, if field 1 is empty and fields 3-5 are of certain lengths,
we assume l0phtcrack. The NETNTLM formats was not affected, they do not
have any uid. But there was another problem: when loading l0phtcrack
style input, we got large hashes in the "gecos" field, resulting in lots
of crap candidates in single mode. I now mute that

The rest of the patch is just an attempt to make these strlens faster. I
change the field split so for trailing empty fields, it returns the
input's last zero byte instead of a constant "". This let me safely use
the SPLFLEN(f) macro (pointer subtraction) instead of
strlen(split_fields[f]). It did not end up that much faster though the
gain may be larger on a system lacking SSE strlen. Maybe this whole
thing was just silly :-)
