Corinna,
this patch defines class cygpsid (basically just moving items from cygsid)
and optimizes user_groups::clear_supp ().
The changes in passwd/group are just type changes from cygsid to cygpsid.

OK, forget what I just wrote, it won't work because the state is
reset to initializing. But the idea of calling init just once

FindFirstChangeNotification must be called from init, otherwise
in the normal case it will be called after the load, leaving
a window where the file can be updated without being noticed.
