Michael Biebl 6db904625d meson: make nologin path build time configurable
Some distros install nologin as /usr/sbin/nologin, others as
/sbin/nologin.
Since we can't really on merged-usr everywhere (where the path wouldn't
matter), make the path build time configurable via -Dnologin-path=.

Closes #13028

Michael Vogt b9ee05c266 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:
```
man6:12::/var/cache/man:/sbin/nologin
```
and in group:
```
disk6:
man12:
```

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.
