Greetings:

I began implementing the solution to this bug just this morning.

There are two parts to the fix:
  1. Clarify the intent of --no-create-home in the man page.
  2. Implement the new --homeless option.

I think that #2 has become redundant given that new systems users are
now "homeless" by default. This was not the case when we first decided
to add the --homeless option.

I cannot think of a situation where one would want to have a "homeless"
non-system (normal) user. Thus, I now think adding this option would be
a mistake.

If it is okay, I will skip the implementation of --homeless and just
proceed with updating the documentation for the --no-create-home option.

Sound good?
