- Add shadow-utils Provides for compatibility with RH/Fedora packages
- Remove --enable-account-tools-setuid build flag:
This was a leftover. The package builds chgpasswd, chpasswd,
groupadd, groupdel, groupmod, newusers, useradd, userdel,
and usermod as setuid binaries via this flag and then strips
the setuid bit again in the install section.
See gh/shadow-maint/shadow#1518
- Cleanup PAM config files which are no longer needed:
groupadd, groupdel, groupmod, useradd, userdel, usermod

After repeated similar requests to change the ID ranges we set the
above mentioned value to 201. The max value will stay at 499.
This range should be sufficient and will give us leeway for the
future.
It's not straightforward to find out which static UIDs/GIDs are
used in all packages.
