Automatically create sysuser users and groups on install
Add a new built-in %sysusers scriptlet that executes before unpacking
files and creates any sysuser users and groups provided by this package.
This scriptlet gets called with the same arguments as %pre, and
sysusers.d(5) lines are fed into the stdin of the script (ie similar to
file triggers).
systemd-sysusers is the native solution, but compatibility with
non-systemd distros can be achieved by pointing %__systemd_sysusers to a
script that translates the sysusers.d(5) lines into adduser/addgroup
calls or similar.
Unlike all the other package-related scripts, this runs from the outside
of a possible chroot to have access to the user-creation utilities
from the start of the transaction even in case of initial installation.
Users and groups are never deleted, on purpose, as that would lead to
uid/gid reuse and consequently, data leak and general weirdness.
