    pw: Use existing group entry, even if it already has members

    Fix the following problem:

    1. A nonexistent user, someuser, is added to /etc/group as
       someuser:*:12345:someuser.
    2. someuser is then created with the default login group.

    A second group entry for someuser will be created.

       someuser:*:12345:someuser
       someuser:*:12346:

    With this fix, the existing group entry will be used.
