I think that we should:
(1) Augment the USERS_GID with a USERS_GROUP setting, throwing a warning
if both are set.
(2) Set the primary group of a new non-system user created with
USERGROUPS=no to the USERS_GID or the GID of the USERS_GROUP
(3) Set USERS_GROUP or the Group that has USERS_GID as supplementary
group of newly created non-system users with USERGROUPS=yes
(The suggestion for USERS_GROUP comes from the fact that the primary
group is set via GID and supplementary group is set via name. Don't we
all love those twisted UNIX traditions?)
