Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * When cups has set the "SystemGroup" directive to an external group
  provided through sss and cups starts before sssd has finished booting,
  cups will crash because the group does not exist.

   * The patch adds an "After=sssd.service" clause to the service unit
  file.

  [Test Case]

   * Configure an external authentication service (LDAP, AD...) and
  create a group, for instance "lpadmins@tests.local"

   * Set SystemGroup to match that group in /etc/cups/cups-files.conf:
  SystemGroup lpadmins@tests.local

   * Reboot

   * If cups has started before sssd has finished booting, cups will crash:
  Mar 27 10:10:33 cups-sssd cupsd[21463]: Unknown SystemGroup 
"lpadmins@tests.local" on line 19 of /etc/cups/cups-files.conf.

   * If cups starts after sssd, it will work fine.

  [Regression Potential]

   * Minimal: this patch affects just the ordering of the service unit
  file.

  [Original description]

  When cups has set the "SystemGroup" directive to an external group
  provided through sss and cups starts before sssd has finished booting,
  cups will crash because the group does not exist. For instance, with a
  group named lpadmins@tests.local served from Active Directory through
  sssd, if the sssd service hasn't booted before cups:

  If sssd is running before cups starts, everything works as expected.
