groupdel doesn't support extrausers

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]
0. upgrade the "passwd" to the version in {xenial,bionic}-proposed
1. install the libnss-extrausers and add "extrauers" to the passwd and shadow
line (see /usr/share/doc/libnss-extrausers/README for the modifications in
sswitch.conf)
2. run "groupadd --extrausers foo" and verify "grep foo
/var/lib/extrausers/group"
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
