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.

+ 0. upgrade the "passwd" to the version in {xenial,bionic}-proposed
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
