sysusers: allow force reusing existing user/group IDs (#8037) On Debian/Ubuntu systems the default passwd/group files use a slightly strange mapping. E.g. in passwd: ``` man:x:6:12::/var/cache/man:/sbin/nologin ``` and in group: ``` disk:x:6: man:x:12: ``` This is not supported in systemd-sysusers right now because sysusers will not re-use an existing uid/gid in its normal mode of operation. Unfortunately this reuse is needed to replicate the default Debian/Ubuntu users/groups. This commit enforces reuse when the "uid:gid" syntax is used to fix this. I also added a test that replicates the Debian base-passwd passwd/group file to ensure things are ok.
