77e79d3374 etc: synchronize master.password, group to NetBSD
IMPORTANT: this change has a docs/UPDATING entry!

This change is a long overdue switch-over from the old MINIX set of
user and group accounts to the NetBSD set.  This switch-over is
increasingly important now that we are importing more and more
utilities from NetBSD, several of which expect various user accounts
to exist.  By switching over in one go, we save ourselves various
headaches in the long run, even if the switch-over itself is a bit
painful for existing MINIX users.

The newly imported master.passwd and group files have three exceptions
compared to their NetBSD originals:

1. There is a custom "service" account for MINIX 3 services.  This
   account is used to limit run-time privileges of various system
   services, and is not used for any files on disk.  Its user ID may
   be changed later, but should always correspond to whatever the
   SERVICE_UID definition is set to.
2. The user "bin" has its shell set to /bin/sh, instead of NetBSD's
   /sbin/nologin.  The reason for this is that the test set in
   /usr/tests/minix-posix will not be able to run otherwise.
3. The group "operator" has been set to group ID 0, to match its old
   value.  This tweak is purely for transitioning purposes: as of
   writing, pkgsrc packages are still using root:operator as owner and
   group for most installed files.  Sometime later, we can change back
   "operator" to group ID 5 without breaking anything, because it does
   not appear that this group name is used for anything important.

ef257bcc1b /etc/group: add 'games' group
Several pkgsrc packages under the games category won't install
without a games group. This change adds the group with gid 13,
the default games gid on NetBSD.
