gh-76912: Raise OSError from any failure in getpass.getuser() (#29739)
* bpo-32731: Raise OSError from any failure in getpass.getuser()
Previously, if the username was not set in certain environment variables, ImportError escaped on Windows systems, and it was possible for KeyError to escape on other systems if getpwuid() failed.

:func:`getpass.getuser` now raises :exc:`OSError` for all failures rather
than :exc:`ImportError` on systems lacking the :mod:`pwd` module or
:exc:`KeyError` if the password database is empty.
