dpkg-statoverride: Do not accept unknown user or group names on --add
We should not allow adding user or group names to the database that do
not exist in the system passwd database, as the main dpkg program uses
strict parsing and will fail with an unrecoverable fatal error if it
cannot find a matching name for a uid/gid.
Regression introduced in commit e4d6db177fad401ddc8432cf0e2c64e4fcf7bc0d,
where we went from too strict to too lax parsing.
Closes: #775124
