Details:
This patch fixes two items related to user accounts:
1. Savane accounts that have corresponding unix accounts were not being
handled properly. They were being skipped entirely from joining/quitting
projects, etc. With this patch, users that have svusers as a secondary group
are now also included in user updates.
2. The "usermod -G" unix utility was being used to add/delete users from
project groups. However, this is not portable. On Linux, a user is removed
from any group that is not included in the -G option. On NetBSD, a user is
added to all groups listed in the -G option, but no group removal action is
performed. I couldn't find a portable unix utility for removing users from
groups, so instead I modified sv_users.pl to rebuild the /etc/group from
scratch. I carefully tested this functionality to be sure that groups & users
that are orthogonal to Savane are left untouched.
