Drop PATH_MAX usage

Strict POSIX systems (such as GNU Hurd) don't define PATH_MAX, which
results in a build failure:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=snac2&arch=hurd-amd64&ver=2.91-1&stamp=1774482136&raw=0

This commit replaces PATH_MAX with a dynamically-allocated buffer,
which is the usual way of fixing these failures.
