systemd-sysusers currently skips entries for groups that already exists.
However, if a group exists only in /etc/gshadow and not in /etc/group,
systemd-sysusers panics:
~# groupdel sgx
~# systemd-sysusers; echo $?
Creating group 'sgx' with GID 106.
0
~# systemd-sysusers; echo $?
0
~# sed -i '/sgx/d' /etc/group
~# systemd-sysusers; echo $?
Creating group 'sgx' with GID 106.
/etc/gshadow: Group "sgx" already exists.

To fix this, let's mirror the logic from the user path
(write_temporary_shadow()) where we simply drop the user from the "todo"
queue if it already exists in /etc/shadow instead of throwing an error.
When creating a user, check if the requested group name matches a user
name in the queue. If that matched user name is also going to be a group
name, then use it for the new user too. In other words, allow the
following:
u foo -
u bar -:foo
when both foo and bar are new users.

I want to mark some files to be ignored for licensing purposes,
e.g. output from fuzzers and other samples. By using the gitattribute
machinery for this we don't need to design a custom protocol:
$ git check-attr generated test/test-sysusers/unhappy-*
test/test-sysusers/unhappy-1.expected-err: generated: set
test/test-sysusers/unhappy-1.input: generated: unspecified
test/test-sysusers/unhappy-2.expected-err: generated: set
test/test-sysusers/unhappy-2.input: generated: unspecified
test/test-sysusers/unhappy-3.expected-err: generated: set
test/test-sysusers/unhappy-3.input: generated: unspecified
Those are all consumed by our parser, so they all support comments.
I was considering whether they should have a license header at all,
but in the end I decided to add it because those files are often created
by copying parts of real unit files. And if the real ones have a license,
then those might as well. It's easier to add it than to make an exception.
Also, even if login.defs are not present, don't start allocating at 1, but at
SYSTEM_UID_MIN.
Fixes#9769.
The test is adjusted. Actually, it was busted before, because sysusers would
never use SYSTEM_GID_MIN, so if SYSTEM_GID_MIN was different than
SYSTEM_UID_MIN, the tests would fail. On all "normal" systems the two are
equal, so we didn't notice. Since sysusers now always uses the minimum of the
two, we only need to substitute one value.
All this test does is manipulate text files in a subdir specified with --testroot.
It can be a normal unittest without the overhead of creating a machine image.
As a bonus, also test the .standalone version.
