Unify mutableUsers = { true, false }
With mutableUsers = true, we now ensure that all users and groups that were created declaratively, are updated or removed appropriately. Thus, adding a user to users.extraUsers and then removing it now causes the acoount to be removed from /etc/passwd. Thus user/group management is fully congruent except that users and groups that were created imperatively (via useradd/groupadd) are not touched. We distinguish between declarative and imperative users/groups by tracking the former in /var/lib/nixos/declarative-{groups,users}. With mutableUsers = false, you are now no longer required to specify UIDs/GIDs for all users. The handling of mutableUsers = true/false is the same code path; the only difference is that the "false" mode ignores the existing contents of /etc/{passwd,group}. The attribute ‘createUser’ is gone. It doesn't really make sense to specify users that shouldn't be created.
