Fix /etc/group having desynced IDs from the actual UID in the sandbox
This was found when `logrotate.conf` failed to build in a NixOS system with: /nix/store/26zdl4pyw5qazppj8if5lm8bjzxlc07l-coreutils-9.3/bin/id: cannot find name for group ID 30000 This was surprising because it seemed to mean that /etc/group was busted in the sandbox. Indeed it was: root:x:0: nixbld:!:100: nogroup:x:65534: We diagnosed this to sandboxUid() being called before usingUserNamespace() was called, in setting up /etc/group inside the sandbox. This code desperately needs refactoring. We also moved the /etc/group code to be with the /etc/passwd code, but honestly this code is all spaghetti'd all over the place and needs some more serious tidying than we did here. We also moved some checks to be earlier to improve locality with where the things they are checking come from. Change-Id: Ie29798771f3593c46ec313a32960fa955054aceb
