Bug description:
  snapd needs the ability to call 'groupdel --extrausers foo' to clean
  up after itself, but --extrausers is currently unsupported.

  [Impact] 
  On ubuntu-core systems we want to be able to manage "extrausers" in the same
  way as regular users. This requires updates to the various 
{user,group}{add,del} tools. Right now "groupdel" cannot handle extrausers.

  This is an important feature for Ubuntu Core

  [Test Case]
  1. install the libnss-extrausers and configure it
  2. run "groupadd --extrausers foo"
  3  check /var/lib/extrausers/group for the new "foo" group
  4. run "groupdel --extrausers foo"
  5. check /var/lib/extrausers/group and ensure the "foo" group is removed

  [Regression Potential]

   * low: this adds a new (optional) option which is off by default
