Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 9c6afab6b6 sysusers: emit audit events for user and group creation
Background: Fedora/RHEL are switching to sysusers.d metadata for creation of
users and groups for system users defined by packages
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RPMSuportForSystemdSysusers).
Packages carry sysusers files. During package installation, rpm calls an
program to execute on this config. This program may either be
/usr/lib/rpm/sysusers.sh which calls useradd/groupadd, or
/usr/bin/systemd-sysusers. To match the functionality provided by
useradd/groupadd from the shadow-utils project, systemd-sysusers must emit
audit events so that it provides a drop-in replacement.

systemd-sysuers will emit audit events AUDIT_ADD_USER/AUDIT_ADD_GROUP when
adding users and groups. The operation "names" are copied from shadow-utils in
Fedora (which has a patch to change them from the upstream version), so the
format of the events that is generated on success should be identical.

The helper code is shared between sysusers and utmp-wtmp. I changed the
audit_fd variable to be unconditional. This way we can avoid ugly iffdefery
every time the variable would be used. The cost is that 4 bytes of unused
storage might be present. This is negligible, and the compiler might even be
able to optimize that away if it inlines things.
