[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] New User and Group handling (Discussion #2277)

[Ludwig Nussel]

In openSUSE the `user()` and `group()` provides are generated automatically if a packages has systemd sysuser files: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:Factory/sysuser-tools/sysusers.prov https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:Factory/sysuser-tools/sysusers.attr

FWIW mentioning this here for completeness, users and groups do not necessarily need to be created in %pre stage in all cases. For transactional systems that only update the os in /usr and apply any potential data and config migrations at boot, users would also get created at boot only.
