Before that, 'sudo' would exit with:

  sudo: /etc/sudoers is not a regular file
  sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting

* gnu/build/activation.scm (activate-etc): Check if SOURCE matches
  'file-is-directory?'.  If not, use 'copy-file' instead of 'symlink'.

system: Add the 'system?' field for user groups.

Suggested by Mark H. Weaver.

* gnu/system/shadow.scm (<user-group>)[system?]: New field.
  (%base-groups): Introduce 'system-group' macro, and use it.
* gnu/system.scm (user-group->gexp): Pass the 'system?' field.
* guix/build/activation.scm (add-group): Add #:system? and honor it.
  (activate-users+groups): Handle the 'system?' field.

* doc/guix.texi (User Accounts): Document the 'system?' field.

system: Add a 'system?' field to user accounts.

* gnu/system/shadow.scm (<user-account>)[system?]: New field.
* gnu/system.scm (user-account->gexp): Add it.
* guix/build/activation.scm (add-user): Add #:system? parameter and
  honor it.
  (activate-users+groups): Handle the 'system?' part of user tuples.

This is a followup to e2fcc23.  The /etc/group file would be cleared
when booting.

* guix/build/activation.scm (activate-users+groups)[touch]: Rewrite so
  it does not wipe out FILE's contents.

Merge branch 'master' into core-updates

activation: Only create groups that do not exist yet.

Before that the effect would be to re-create groups at each boot, and
thus remove any members of the groups.

* guix/build/activation.scm (activate-users+groups): Call 'add-group'
  only when (getgrname name) fails.
