`bootc 1.1.6` lints are failing due to missing systemd-sysusers entires on upstream packaging

[tulilirockz]

We are running into both bootc getting mad at files existing in /var (we can just delete /var and re-create it being empty) and the following:

Lint warning: sysusers: Found /etc/passwd entry without corresponding systemd sysusers.d:
  avahi
  libstoragemgmt
  setroubleshoot
  wsdd
Found /etc/group entry without corresponding systemd sysusers.d:
  avahi
  libstoragemgmt
  power
  setroubleshoot
  sudo
  ...and 1 more

We need to PR sysusers entries for a few upstream packages else we will run into this forever, heres an example PR from Timothee Ravier: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/flatpak/pull-request/8. This needs to be replicated for avahi, libstoragemgmt, setroubleshoot and wsdd in both the centos-stream RPMs and fedora packaging.

TRACKING

CentOS fixes

• avahi
• libstoragemgmt
• setroubleshoot
• sudo
• upower? - We need to figure out something that adds the power group.
• wsdd

Fedora fixes

• avahi
• libstoragemgmt
• setroubleshoot
• sudo
• upower
• wsdd

Another option might be to wait and see how the new bootc container finalize will handle these.
Missing sysusers entries might be generated for us as part of the command.

I don't think RedHat expects all their customers to be PRing these things upstream, so it wouldn't surprise me if they already have a plan for this. If the plan turns out to be fix everything themselves, then let's help out :)

@tulilirockz Do you have a link to where we can see these logs?
I don't believe they are present in the latest GitHub Actions builds

For sudo, see https://gitlab.com/fedora/bootc/base-images/-/merge_requests/94

For the rest, https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/RYQRILDUQ4KTTVOQPFADFMLXYQ4GDORC/#J6FI5DBXQ7IQU7HUSPZVN7PESKDRQS53 is happening.

There's a long tail of this stuff for sure though and it will take a bit to make its way to c10s.

Note that none of this is a new problem per se, and in general right now as long as those users are part of the initially provisioned image it's usually OK.
