Title:
chfn needs to learn about the --extrausers argument and use libnss-
extrausers files when set

Bug description:
as seen in bug 1492327, adduser now works for creating users in the
extrausers db but when it tries to update the GECOS field at the end
of adding a user (interactively and noninteractively) chfn falls over
...
chfn needs similar patches to the other shadow binaries that recently
got extrausers support.
TEST CASE:
- create a user "foo" on an Ubuntu Core system
- run "chfn --extrausers -f some-name foo" on an Ubuntu Core system
REGRESSION POTENTIAL:
- low: this requires the new (and optional) --extrausers switch to change
anything.
