Since __progname is not exposed in stdlib.h, use getprogname(3) instead.
While here remove the useless cast.

If this is ok, I'd like to also replace the uses of __progname
throughout the tree with getprogname(). Rationale for this is
setprogname takes a const char *, which means __progname should also be
const. Instead of fixing all the declarations throughout the tree, use
getprogname(3) which is the documented API anyway.
